Full job description
Requisition Id 15602
Overview:
The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a postdoctoral research associate in the area of Application-driven Composable Distributed Storage. The candidate will be able to make research contributions in understanding and efficient use of distributed data storage and I/O subsystems for High-Performance Computing (HPC), scientific Artificial Intelligence (AI), and scientific edge computing.
We are a leader in computational and computer science, with signature strengths in high-performance computing and data analytics with applications in a large variety of science domains. NCCS is home to some of the fastest supercomputers and storage systems in the world. This position is in the Technology Integration group within NCCS.
Specific areas of research interest include:
Flexible, composable storage service architectures that expose useful data container abstractions and interfaces for applications to convey their requirements for I/O performance and data atomicity, consistency, durability, and retention.
Intelligent and automated selection and composition of data and storage service capabilities and interconnection topologies that simplify the use of diverse distributed storage resources through advanced methods for distributed data placement, layout, tiering, and movement.
Major Duties and Responsibilities:
Collaborate with internal and external researchers on a variety of data and storage related research projects for use cases in HPC, scientific AI, and scientific edge computing.
I/O and storage performance characterization of HPC and scientific AI applications or libraries on multi-tier HPC storage systems.
Design and evaluation of approaches for time-sensitive or data-intensive processing of data originating at scientific edge systems using large-scale HPC/AI computational and storage systems.
Design and evaluation of ephemeral, user-configurable, and composable data and storage systems.
Evaluation of cloud data storage and analysis solutions (e.g., key-value stores, object or document storage, graph analytics systems) deployed on HPC computational and storage systems.
Co-authorship of peer-reviewed publications, technical reports, and presentations.
Seek membership and service opportunities in professional, academic, and research organizations.
Basic Qualifications:
A PhD in computer science/engineering or relevant area with an education and a research track record in HPC/AI/edge systems and storage research within past five years.
Preferred Qualifications:
Ability to work independently to design and deploy methods at scale.
Experience in HPC and associated software development for applications, middleware, and/or system software.
Flexibility to adapt to diverse R&D projects and tasks.
Effective communicator in both verbal and written forms.
Ability to collaborate with scientists, engineers, and sponsors.
Interest in mentoring student internships.
Applicants cannot have received their PhD more than five years prior to the date of application and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment. The appointment length will be up to 24 months with the potential for extension. Initial appointments and extensions are subject to performance and availability of funding.
Security, Credentialing, and Eligibility Requirements:
This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain an HSPD-12 PIV badge.
For employment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a Real ID compliant form of identification will be required.
Additionally, ORNL is subject to Department of Energy (DOE) access restrictions. All employees must also be able to obtain and maintain a federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card as mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and Department of Energy (DOE) Order 473.1A, which requires a favorable post-employment background investigation.
To obtain this credential, new employees must successfully complete and pass a Federal Tier 1 background check investigation. This investigation includes a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture within the last year. This includes marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws.
For foreign national candidates:
If you have not resided in the U.S. for three consecutive years, you are not eligible for the PIV credential and instead will need to obtain a favorable Local Site Specific Only (LSSO) risk determination to maintain employment.
Once you meet the three-year residency requirement, you will be required to obtain a PIV credential to maintain employment.
