RESEARCH SCIENTIST - COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY - Requisition # 38326

We are looking for an outstanding scientist to be part of our award-wining high performance computational chemistry team. The successful candidate will participate in the evaluation and prioritization of computational chemistry end-user requirements (functionality, capability, and usability) for NWChem (this molecular modeling software allows researchers to compute the properties of molecular and periodic systems using standard quantum mechanical descriptions of the electronic wavefunction or density and can perform classical molecular dynamics and free energy simulations). A Ph.D. in computational chemistry and at least three years experience in computational chemistry methods and software development are required. Strong technical skills in computational chemistry methods and programs, UNIX, Fortran, C, C++, and software engineering are desired.

SENIOR COMPUTER SCIENTIST - Requisition # 43906

This position requires experience in areas such as distributed systems design, data management, human-computer interface, graphics/visualization, and object-oriented design. Masters/Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent, with an emphasis in collaborative systems, problem-solving environments, distributed computing, or multimodal systems required. The candidate will develop and carry out an advanced research and development program in technology and systems for next generation scientific computing environments. Good teaming and communications skills are essential.

RESEARCH SCIENTIST - HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING/COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS - Requisition # 41646

Seeking an outstanding scientist with established technical expertise in high-performance computing and computational mechanics. This individual will act as a resource to our team and will have significant involvement in external seminars and workshops. This position involves managing projects involving multiple tasks and capabilities, developing and implementing tactical plans for new and significant projects, and interfacing with the client and management. The successful candidate will lead mentoring and training activities for technical staff; influence colleagues and peers through scientific leadership; and serve as the primary author or contributor on reports, papers, presentations, IF disclosures, etc. Candidate must have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work well with others in a team environment. M.S. in Mechanical Engineering plus two to four years of related model/simulation experience and thorough knowledge of nonlinear finite element as well as experience in joining modeling technology is required.
