We are recruiting for two new positions to further enhance support for 
research computing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 
The focus of one position is code optimization and parallelization. The 
primary responsibility of the second position is to develop and teach 
training courses on specific computational applications, parallel code 
development and testing, checkpointing, and other aspects of our 
computing environment. The job announcements are currently posted at the 
UNC-CH Human Resources web site:

Position Description:

Research Computing Associate for High Performance Computing will provide 
expertise for current and future high performance computing code 
optimization, parallelization and porting.

This position will work closely with faculty and other University 
researchers to determine the appropriate architecture for each 
application and will then assist with porting and tuning applications 
for optimal performance on the chosen platform.

In addition to supporting the porting and optimization of researchers 
codes, this position will help identify and analyze codes to be used for 
benchmarking and research of high performance computing resources.

Education Required:

Position Requires a M.S. or Ph.D in computer science or related 
computational science discipline and demonstrated hands-on expertise and 
high performance programming experience with MPICH, OpenMP, Fortran and 
C++.

Position Description:

The High Performance Computing Instructor will determine course content, 
develop and teach introductory classes about the UNC-Chapel Hill high 
performance computing environment and how to use it, parallel 
programming, scientific applications, and specialized coding and 
performance analysis for faculty and their research teams.

Within ATN, the Academic Computing Systems Division provides the 
infrastructure and support for the research computing, data management 
and storage, messaging, web and enterprise backup and recovery needs of 
the University community.

The High Performance Computing Instructor will develop course materials 
for computational science techniques. These materials will be used to 
design on-line tutorials as well as hands-on workshops and courses for 
researchers with computationally intensive problems.
