Subject: NSF Program Director in Advanced Scientific Computing
The NSF Division of Advanced Scientific Computing manages the
five national supercomputer centers and research programs in New
Technologies and Computational Science and Engineering. The
latter research programs are currently being administered by Dr.
Richard Hirsh who intends to resume his position at the Johns
Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory on October 1, 1988.
The Division of Advanced Scientific Computing (DASC) is currently led by
Dr. Melvyn Ciment, Acting Director and Deputy Director and he
reports to Dr. William Wulf, Assistant Director, Computer
Information Sciences and Engineering Directorate.
DASC is seeking a program director to manage the two programs in
New Technologies and Computational Science & Engineering (NT/CSE). The
program currently is being directed to interface with general NSF-wide
programs in Computational Science & Engineering.
The DASC NT/CSE Programs will focus on supporting interdisciplinary
research teams addressing issues that arise in high performance
computing in scientific and engineering applications including,
but not limited to:
novel computational strategies, parallel computation, visualization &
graphics, software algorithms and tools, performance evaluation,
networking & communication systems and advanced computational technologies.
The Division of Advanced Scientific Computing is interested in identifying
suitable candidates who might serve either as a rotator or as a permanent
program director for this developing program.
Persons interested in serving in such a position must have specialization
and extensive experience in a multi-disciplinary computational science
research environment.
Please respond with your inquiries and recommendations to
Dr. Melvyn Ciment
Acting Director, Div. Advanced Scientific Computing
