Job description

The scientist will join a vibrant team and top-class HPC institute to collaborate with other computer science and domain science teams to conduct research on HPC performance, such as performance modeling, simulation, prediction, and monitoring, in order to enhance the community's understanding of cutting-edge and future supercomputers as well as applications running on these systems.

We bring together experts and students from different domains of the HPC stack to perform cross-layer optimizations, to apply AI and ML methods to improve the systems efficiency, and we aid the design of future systems with our benchmarks, performance analysis, modelling and performance projections.

The scientist will apply her/his previous research to large-scale systems and problems.

The scientist will be able to research novel methods to automatically apply performance tuning and/or portability approaches, and findings shall be disseminated via publications or software.

In addition to the above research and development, the scientist might take charge of various tasks in our research team and she/he could be involved in the R&D for the next generation of supercomputers for the RIKEN Center for Computational Science.

Qualifications
Applicants must have a doctoral degree or expect to receive a doctoral degree before the date of appointment.

In general, those who earned a doctorate within the past 5 years will be appointed as Postdoctoral Researcher, and those who earned a doctorate more than 5 years ago will be appointed as Research Scientist.

Applicants with these skills will be preferred:
Experience in performance analysis, tuning, or modelling of hard- or software system;
Knowledge of high performance computing systems; scalable, parallel architectures; and Linux operating system;
Knowledge of typical high-level programming languages and parallelization paradigms used in the HPC field, e.g., C, C++, Fortran, CUDA, OpenMP, and MPI;
Knowledge of one or more common scripting languages such a Bash, Python, etc.;
A high degree of self-motivation, a drive to learn new things, and a desire to solve complex "puzzles"; and
Confidence in communicating in English, i.e., reading, writing and speaking.
