KEY SKILLS: Scientific computing, Applied Mathematics, C++, Fortran

POSITION SUMMARY: The Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering
has two openings for postdoctoral researchers to work on the development of high-resolution methods for partial differential equations and the application of those methods to problems of interest to DOE.

DUTIES: Required - The development of high resolution numerical methods and adaptive algorithms and the application of such methods to the investigation of fundamental physical phenomena arising in a variety of areas. Particular application areas of interest include astrophysics, combustion, flow in porous media and multiphase flow.

QUALIFICATIONS: Required - Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, the Physical Sciences or Engineering within the last 5 years, with a strong research background in computational methods and scientific computing. Preference will be given to an applicant with research experience in the development of high-resolution numerical methods for partial differential equations. Desired - Programming experience in C++ and Fortran is highly desirable.

NOTE: These are 2-year term appointments with the possibility of renewal. Salary for post-doctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree. There are two openings for this position.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has been a leader in science and engineering research for more than 70 years. Located on a 200 acre site in the hills above the University of California's Berkeley campus, adjacent to the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley Lab holds the distinction of being the oldest of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Laboratories. The Lab is managed by the University of California, operating with an annual budget of more than $500 million (FY2004) and a staff of about 3,800 employees, including more than 500 students.

Berkeley Lab conducts unclassified research across a wide range of scientific disciplines with key efforts in fundamental studies of the universe; quantitative biology; nanoscience; new energy systems and environmental solutions; and the use of integrated computing as a tool for discovery. It is organized into 17 scientific divisions and hosts four DOE national user facilities.
