The Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Leadership Computing
Facility (OLCF) has the charge to develop and apply
transformational computational science capabilities in support
of dramatic advances in our understanding of the physical world
and using that knowledge to address the most pressing national
and international concerns. As a designated User Facility, the
OLCF hosts one of the most powerful computers in the world and
delivers an unparalleled environment in which to make new
discoveries that will dramatically impact the nation’s ability
to produce a secure energy economy and increase mankind’s
fundamental understanding of our world. The facility has a goal
of assisting in creating the next generation of computational
scientists using current and emerging high-end computing
resources to tackle the most demanding scientific challenges of
tomorrow, and is seeking to grow their current postdoctoral
fellowship program and develop the next generation computational
science workforce with strong expertise in individual science
domains, as well as expertise in the programming models needed
for the development of methods and their implementation on state
of the art, high-end computational resources.</p>
