Primary support for the Center is provided by the Basic Energy Science Program of DOE's Office of Science.
Activities range from cooperating autonomous robots to computational nanotechnology.
Immediate openings exist for outstanding Ph.D. candidates with experimental background in the area of optical computing. The focus of the research is on the development of a petascale digital optical computer for solving certain classes of partial differential equations. Appointments are for one year with an expected total duration of two years. Subject to performance and funding availability, a regular staff appointment may be considered. Some positions may require the ability to obtain and maintain a U. S. Department of Energy security clearance and, therefore, U. S. citizenship may be required.
