US: Computer Science Postdoctoral Fellow

Description:
The mission of the LBNL Visualization Group is to accelerate and enable scientific discovery through research, development and application of high performance software and technologies that span a diverse technical portfolio in scientific visualization, graphics, analytics, and analysis. The Visualization Group has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow to work on the development of algorithms and their application to visualization and image analysis for nanoscale control of geologic CO2. Other relevant techniques include but are not limited to multivariate, temporal, large data, quantitative microscopy and statistical analysis. The person in this position will report to the Visualization Group lead and is expected to conduct original research, to perform software engineering resulting in high-quality software products for visual data exploration and analysis, to produce high-quality technical publications, and work independently on individual projects as well as part of a team on larger projects.

LBNL is an AA/EOE committed to the development of a diverse workforce.

Employer:
In the world of science, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is synonymous with “excellence.” Eleven scientists associated with Berkeley Lab have won the Nobel Prize and 55 Nobel Laureates either trained here or had significant collaborations with our Laboratory. Thirteen of our scientists have won the National Medal of Science, our nation’s highest award for lifetime achievement in fields of scientific research. As of 2008, there have been 61 Berkeley Lab scientists elected into the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), considered one of the highest honors for a scientist in the United States. This translates to approximately three-percent of the total NAS membership, an unparalleled record of achievement. Eighteen of our engineers have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and two of our scientists have been elected into the Institute of Medicine. In addition, Berkeley Lab has trained thousands of university science and engineering students who are advancing technological innovations across the nation and around the world.

Berkeley Lab is a member of the national laboratory system supported by the U.S. Department of Energy through its Office of Science. It is managed by the University of California (UC) and is charged with conducting unclassified research across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Located on a 200 acre site in the hills above the UC Berkeley campus that offers spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley Lab employs approximately 4,000 scientists, engineers, support staff and students. Its budget for 2008 was approximately $600 million. Studies estimate the Laboratory’s overall economic impact through direct, indirect and induced spending on the nine counties that make up the San Francisco Bay Area to be nearly $700 million annually. The overall economic impact on the global economy is an estimated $1.4 billion a year. Technologies developed at Berkeley Lab have generated billions of dollars in revenues, and thousands of jobs. Savings as a results of Berkeley Lab developments in lighting and windows, and other energy-efficient technologies, have also been in the billions of dollars.
