The Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI)Institute at the University of Utah invites applications for apostdoctoral researcher in the area of scientific problem solvingenvironments. This project is primarily supported by a collaborativeNIH biomedical computing grant. The primary responsibilities of thisposition include porting third party software to the SCI Institute'sSCIRun problem solving environment and performing research inscientific computing software architecture and environments. Thisposition will work with SCI Institute researchers and externalcollaborators to integrate scientific computing and visualizationsoftware with SCIRun and apply it to important real-world science andengineering problems.

The SCI Institute is seeking a highly talented and committed individualwith a demonstrated ability to work well in a multi-disciplinaryresearch environment. The successful candidate will work towardfurthering the institute's world-class research and softwaredevelopment in problem solving environments.

Position Requirements:
    * Ph.D. in computer science or closely related field
    * Expert knowledge in scientific problem solvingenvironments with an emphasis in interactive scientific computing andscientific visualization.
    * Advanced skills in C++, and scripting languages.
    * Background in biomedical computing and knowledge of OpenGL is desirable.

Non-Technical Skills:
Excellent oral and written communication skills are mandatory. Awillingness to participate in a highly diverse, multi-disciplinaryenvironment is also essential.

Benefits: The University of Utah offers a very competitive benefits package.

Comments: Please apply to the University of Utah Human ResourcesDepartment. Please include the names of at least three references alongwith a curriculum vitae and list of publications.

Start date: Immediate.

The initial appointment will be for a one-year period, with thepossibility of an extension based upon performance and availability offunding.

The SCI Institute: The SCI Institute is a world-class researchinstitute on the University of Utah campus. We are a highly dynamic,driven group of 100+ faculty, staff and students. The overarching goalsof the SCI Institute's scientific computing research are to create newtechniques, tools, and systems, by which scientists may solve problemsaffecting various aspects of human life. We believe that to advance thestate-of-the-art and create meaningful computational solutions for suchcomplex systems, one needs to advance research in a number of areaswithin scientific computing, including: visualization, simulation, andmodeling. Furthermore, to enable such new algorithmic and softwareresearch to have real impact outside of scientific computing andcomputer science, these components must be integrated with data andapplication specific knowledge within intuitive software systems,problem solving environments (PSEs) or "computational workbenches." TheSCI Institute presents a highly demanding work environment that can bedeeply rewarding for the right individual.
