DescriptionLawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL, https://www.lbl.gov/) Data Science Division has an opening for a Computational Cosmology Center Group Lead to join the team.
The Computational Cosmology Center (the C3 Group) is a team of astrophysicists, computational scientists, engineers, post-docs, and students with expertise in advanced computing techniques and their application to scientific collaborations, including cosmology and experimental and theoretical astrophysics. The C3 group was formed by the Computational Research and Physics Divisions at LBNL to focus on developing the tools, techniques, and technologies to meet the analysis challenges posed by present and future cosmological data sets. C3 researchers are embedded in large experimental or simulation focused collaborations to provide the cyberinfrastructure and underlying models for scientific data analysis and exploration.
This position is for a Computer Staff Scientist as group lead of the C3 Group in the Computational Science Department in the Scientific Data Division. In this exciting role, you will conduct and lead computing research and/or development projects within or related to ongoing or future cosmology science collaborations including DESI, LSST-DESC, CMB-S4, Euclid, WFIRST among others.
