[Storage-research-list] ORNL PostDoc in Multi-Tier Storage Systems for HPC and Big Data

[Michael J. Brim]

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is currently seeking postdoctoral 
candidates interested in the field of multi-tier data storage systems 
for high-performance computing and big data workloads.

The position sits within the Computer Science Research Group.  The 
Group’s research covers a broad spectrum of areas of computer science 
associated with high-performance parallel computing and interacts 
strongly with large-scale applications in several scientific and 
technical fields, as well with the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing 
Facility (OLCF, http://olcf.ornl.gov).

The successful candidate will carry out research and development on a 
platform for runtime performance analysis and adaptation of multi-tier 
data storage systems supporting both HPC and Big Data workloads. As part 
of the project team, the successful applicant will contribute to the 
design, implementation, testing, and evaluation of a scalable data 
service that monitors all the tiers in the storage system and 
intelligently adapts to improve system-wide I/O performance. Publication 
of research results in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings 
is expected.
