Position Number: 3705815
Location: New York, NY
Position Type: Computer and Information Technology

162 Fifth Avenue
Full time
R0001205

POSITION SUMMARY

The Scientific Computing Core (SCC), co-led by Nick Carreiro and Ian Fisk, manages supercomputing resources and provides high performance computing (HPC) expertise to all centers at the Flatiron Institute, a division of the Simons Foundation, developing tools broadly useful to the scientific community as a whole.

SCC is seeking a Software Engineer Intern to apply their development skills to original computational projects. The selected candidate will have a chance to collaborate on an open source project while learning about numerical algorithms, GPU computing, MPI, and various other high performance computing (HPC) topics. The internship will be focused on HPC, and not machine learning, though many of the techniques used can be applied to accelerate machine learning applications. The selected candidate will be on SCC premises daily to meet with their advisor, collaborate with scientists from a broad range of disciplines, present their progress, and participate in discussions. At the completion of their projects, they will orally present their work and potentially prepare a research paper.

This is a paid, full-time internship that will run from May 30 through August 11, and will take place in our New York City offices. Travel to New York City, and housing may be available for interns based outside of the five boroughs of New York City.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS/REQUIREMENTS

Assist in planning and implementation of novel generic open source computational tools and broader research software. Some recent projects that are in active development include, but are not limited to:
- High-performance multidimensional function interpolator https://github.com/blackwer/baobzi
- Massively parallel fully resolved hydrodynamic simulation of cytoskeletal elements https://github.com/flatironinstitute/SkellySim

Use github to organize workflow and effectively collaborate on team programming projects

Use Flatiron cluster resources to profile/benchmark/test software
