A postdoctoral research position is available at the Pennsylvania State
University in ice sheet modeling and numerical techniques.
The position is funded for a 2-year duration, and is currently open with a
flexible start date. The postdoc will participate in a large NSF-funded
project (PLIOMAX) involving coupled Antarctic ice-sheet climate modeling
during the Pliocene and Pleistocene. The primary role will be to improve
the numerics of an existing 3-D ice-sheet model, especially in the use of
sparse-matrix solvers with MPI parallelization on linux clusters. There
will be ample opportunity to also work on scientific aspects of the
project, and to interact with project scientists at Penn State and other
institutions. Applicants can be from computer science or geophysical
modeling backgrounds, preferably with practical experience in parallel
sparse-matrix
solvers, and be comfortable working with large Fortran codes.

The position will be based primarily at the Pennsylvania State University,
University Park, under the supervision of Dr. David Pollard, with possible
extended visits to Prof. Robert DeConto at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst.
