Hello all,
While I have hardly ever posted to this PETSc developer's email list, I have
been "lurking", and reading with interest, for the past several years. Two
jobs ago, when I was working as a DoD contractor for the PET program, I was
installing PETSc on all sorts of platforms and operating systems (IBM, Cray,
HP, etc...), and the PETSc team was very helpful in resolving bugs and other
issues (I'm sure that I had access to a much wider variety of HPC systems than
the PETSc developers did, and as a result I was able to shake out some bugs
that might have remained uncovered for who knows how long).
After moving to NCSA, i only had one computer architecture to deal with - the
marvelous Blue Waters - and I was no longer responsible for installing PETSc
(someone at Cray did that, I think), but I would still occasinally support
users who were using PETSc.
My five-year contract at NCSA just ran out, after eight years (the NSF kept
extending my contract by additional one-year increments, because they were
happy with the work that NCSA and Blue Waters were accomplishing), but a year
or so ago the funding agency changed from NSF to NGA, and my contract was not
renewed (sniff sniff).
So, please excuse me for asking this here (and if this is not the appropriate
place, please re-direct me -- I absolutely don't want to be spamming anybody!),
but I find myself looking for another position, and I was hoping that maybe
something might be available at Argonne, and/or MCS, and/or PETSc. I am mildly
encouraged by the fact that a few other people I know are there (Victor
Anisimov, JaeHyuk Kwack and I used to be in the same group at NCSA, and Scott
Parker and I had the same advisor in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics at the
University of Illinois).
Are there any openings?
Thanks,
-Tom Cortese
