----------------- PARALLEL COMPUTING RESEARCHERS ------------------

Battelle, Pacific Northwest Laboratory is a rapidly expanding
multi-program national laboratory with missions in the areas of Energy
Research and Environmental Preservation, Remediation and Restoration.
We conduct over 1,700 research programs for more than 94 federal and
state agencies, 302 industry clients, and 9 foreign countries, valued
at over $350 million.  Our programs have created immediate needs for
qualified Computer Science professionals.

A major program for basic and applied research in the molecular
sciences is underway at Battelle.  Our current significant capability
in scientific computing is being expanded to support the theoretical
and experimental elements of this program.  We are seeking researchers
with expertise in parallel scientific computing technologies in the
following areas:

  Performance Modeling and Machine Evaluation

   . Performance modeling of scientific applications on MIMD massively
     parallel computers; development of modeling methods and tools;
     evaluation of parallel algorithms, programming environments, and
     machines.

   . Requires skill and experience with internals of compilers and
     language translators; familiarity with computational chemistry
     methods.

  Operating System Development

   . Develop and evaluate enhancements to the communications software
     kernel of message-passing multicomputers; modify application
     programs to exploit communications enhancements.

   . Requires skill and experience with assembly language,
     communication hardware interfaces, and operating system
     internals.

  Application and Toolset Development

   . Assist application developers in evaluating and using
     experimental parallel programming environments; evaluate,
     develop, and maintain toolsets; identify, develop, and evaluate
     parallel numerical methods.

   . Requires skill and experience developing production quality
     programs; numerical analysis including linear algebra and PDE's.

These openings all require an MS or PhD in Computer Science, with
graduate work or 1 year experience in some computational science
discipline, or PhD in Chemistry or Physics with BS or equivalent
experience in Computer Science.  Three years experience in parallel
computing is desired.

Our location in Richland in southeastern Washington offers all the
advantages and quality of a small community lifestyle, excellent
schools, and the unique recreational opportunities of the great
Northwest.  Battelle offers outstanding facilities and equipment, the
challenge of growth, excellent benefits and competitive salaries.
