Stony Brook University is acquiring a large (100 Teraflops class) supercomputer to serve the core hardware for a newly formed New York Center for Computational Science (NYCCS). Therefore, Stony Brook University is seeking six tenure-track or tenured positions in the area of large-scale computational science that aims to study physical, biological and social science problems. Scientists in atmospheric sciences and oceanography who can demonstrate expertise of high-performance computing are encouraged to apply. Examples of focus areas include climate modeling, numerical weather prediction, geophysical fluid dynamics modeling, biogeochemical and ecosystem modeling. Successful candidates will hold a nine-month academic calendar year faculty position in the Institute for Terrestrial and Planetary Atmospheres and the Marine Sciences Research Center, and will be affiliated with the NYCCS.

A Ph.D. with outstanding research and teaching potential and experience in large-scale computing is required. Review of applications will begin December 15, 2006, and continue until the six positions are filled. More information about NYCCS can be found at www.stonybrook.edu/nyccs. More information about the atmospheric and marine sciences programs at Stony Brook can be found at http://atmos.msrc.sunysb.edu and http://www.msrc.sunysb.edu.
