Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics

The University of California, Davis, invites applications for the positions
of Lead Developer and Software Engineers in the Computational
Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG). CIG is funded by the National Science
Foundation to develop and support high performance open source software for
geophysical applications in cooperation with the computational geoscience
community.

The successful applicants will be expected to:

•	Work with academic scientists to identify and implement improved
algorithms for computational simulations in one or more of the following
areas of geophysics: earthquake dynamics, lithospheric deformation, mantle
dynamics, seismic wave propagation and the geodynamo.

•	Participate in software training activities for academic geoscientists
using CIG software, including giving talks about the software,
participating in one-on-one or small-group discussions, and assisting in
documenting the software.

The successful applicants for the lead developer position will also be
expected to:

•	Provide high-level technical direction, management/oversight and
strategic technology planning support to CIG

•	Provide leadership and support to CIG software engineers in
development, architecture and maintenance of highly complex open-source
modeling software.

Applicants should have knowledge of computer science, cross-platform
programming, applied physics, geophysics or a closely related field.
