The Socio-technical Modeling and Simulation team in the Information Sciences Group (CCS-3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has projects in modeling and simulation spanning the full range of research activities from problem analysis, algorithmic and system design, to implementation, testing and applications of our tools. Our work covers a diverse and ever-expanding spectrum of application domains with a focus on infrastructure modeling; our current portfolio
includes communication networks, transportation networks, commodity networks, epidemic modeling, agent-based activity modeling, and social networks. Our simulations model large-scale socio-technological systems with high fidelity. To tackle the scalability challenge, we implement our systems on high-performance distributed computing clusters. Most of our students have been able to publish their work done here in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

We have several openings for graduate students to work with us for a limited period of time (typically between three and 24 months). We also have openings for postdoctoral positions, preferably in cyber-security (2 year appointments with one year of potential extension). Applicants should have demonstrated domain knowledge in one or more of the following areas:

- Cyber security
- Communication networks
- Domain-specific knowledge in critical infrastructures (e.g., Internet, transportation networks, public health, etc.)
- Combinatorial algorithm design
- Distributed discrete-event simulation

We also expect applicants to have the following skills:

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
- Strong programming skills and interest in C/C++, including template programming and STLs
- Knowledge of one or more scripting languages (Perl, Python, shell)
- Experience with distributed programming and MPI will be a plus.

US citizenship is NOT a requirement.

Starting dates for these student positions are negotiable; the appointments related to the above positions are expected to start between April and August, 2010. Please send your CV (PDF preferred) to ghyan@lanl.gov. Please also put "Los Alamos CCS-3 Internship in 2010" in your subject line. CVs received no later than Feb 15, 2010, will receive full considerations.

Los Alamos National Laboratory provides an excellent academic working environment with access to state-of-the-art technologies and also an impressive pool of researchers with diverse backgrounds for collaborative efforts. Annualized student and postdoc salaries fall in the range from USD 44K to USD 70K depending on education status.

Los Alamos is a small, picturesque town located at an altitude of 7000 feet in northern New Mexico, and offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, public concerts, and artistic activities. In addition, the nearby city of Santa Fe is home to a great variety of cultural events throughout the year.

We are looking forward to your application!

Best regards,
