The Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering has openings for two postdoctoral researchers to work at the interface between the development of combustion methodology for exascale architectures and computer science research aimed at developing the software stack needed to support exascale computing.

            More specifically, the postdoctoral researchers will work on the development of a programming environment for fluid dynamics and combustion simulation codes.  These simulation codes will enable the design of future advanced combustion devices such as diesel engines and low-swirl combustion devices for efficient heating and energy production.  These positions would be affiliated with the Center for Exascale Simulation of Combustion in Turbulence (ExaCT) and would interact closely with computer science teams associated with the DOE X-Stack program. The goal of ExaCT is to perform multi-disciplinary research required to iteratively co-design all aspects of combustion simulation including math algorithms for partial differential equations, programming models, scientific data management and analytics for in situ uncertainty quantification and topological analysis, and architectural simulation to explore hardware tradeoffs with proxy applications that represent the anticipated workload on future exascale supercomputing systems.  For more information about: ExaCT see http://exactcodesign.org; the DOE X-stack program see http://www.xstack.org; and, the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering, https://ccse.lbl.gov
