Original posting

Computer Science Research Dept., SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory | Research Scientist / Engineer | Full Time We're a research group within SLAC, headed by Alex Aiken (https://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/). We focus on fundamental CS research that has the potential to impact science, mainly in the areas of high-performance and distributed computing, programming languages, compilers, networks, operating systems, etc. One of our major projects is Legion, a forward-looking programming system for distributed computing (https://legion.stanford.edu/). Legion has been used to create new programming languages (https://regent-lang.org/), seamless distributed NumPy (https://developer.nvidia.com/cunumeric), and a drop-in replacement for Keras and PyTorch (https://flexflow.ai/), among many other things. We are looking for strong scientists and engineers to join our group. For clarity (because these terms vary by industry/company), scientists mainly focus on producing research results (e.g., papers and research software) while engineers mainly focus on software development and deliverables (e.g., system or application implementation). For scientist positions please expect to provide a CV with relevant publications. The official application links are below, but please feel free to contact me directly if you have questions.
