Subject: [General] SHARCNET Employment Opportunity


SHARCNET is currently seeking High-Performance Computing Programming
Specialists. We expect to have up to three positions available in this
competition. The positions will be located at one of the SHARCNET institutions
but the precise location of each position is flexible.

SHARCNET provides some of the most powerful HPC infrastructure in Canada for
academic research. As part of our mission to enable excellent research, we are
looking for advanced programming specialists to support the user community in
leveraging this infrastructure for forefront computational projects. The
programming specialists will be responsible for supporting identified research
projects, in both traditional HPC disciplines (e.g., physics, chemistry,
engineering) and disciplines newer to HPC (e.g., bio-informatics, finance,
social science and the humanities), that can take advantage of our HPC
infrastructure to realize new results of international significance; providing
advice and training on advanced computational algorithms and techniques;
undertaking significant program development including large-scale parallel
applications and/or novel algorithms and optimization for large systems. It is
anticipated that the programming specialists will work closely with research
groups and this work may lead to joint publications.

Candidates for these positions must have an M.S., or preferably a Ph.D., in a
scientific discipline, related discipline, or equivalent experience. Candidates
must possess demonstrated experience programming in at least two of
Fortran90/95, C and C++; excellent verbal and written communication skills;
demonstrated application programming experience under UNIX and Linux operating
system or under two or more mainframe/supercomputing operating systems; and
demonstrated experience with cluster/MPI programming and/or parallelization
techniques including expertise with debugging, profiling and optimizing
largescale parallel applications. In addition, candidates must have
demonstrated knowledge of numerical algorithms, such as those used in linear
algebra, the solution of PDEs, FFTs etc., and knowledge of standard numerical
packages and libraries. Experience in a university research environment is an
asset.

These are full-time positions with three years of guaranteed funding available,
with the potential for renewal.

Qualified applicants may apply in confidence by submitting a resume on or
before July 15, 2007 to:
