Development and testing of software tools and middleware for characterizing real-time network performance metrics will be performed. A detailed understanding of generating complex imagery from large data sets will be required to best preprocess and cache data prior to sending over the network to the visualization cluster. Mathematical modeling, benchmarking and research leading to peer review publications will be necessary to demonstrate success in the prototype data sourcing system. An advanced degree in a relevant discipline is preferred. The position is for at least one year in duration with a high probability that the project will be extended.
Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications.
