>closely with SCI Institute researchers and external collaborators to
>integrate research into SCI Institute software applications and apply
>this software to compelling problems in science and engineering.
>
>The SCI Institute is seeking a highly talented and committed individual
>with a demonstrated ability to work well with minimal supervision in a
>multi-disciplinary research environment. The successful candidate will
>contribute to the Institute's world-class research and software
>development in scientific visualization and have the opportunity to
>develop their research, publication, and presentation skills under
>mentorship from established faculty investigators.
>

>The overarching goals of the SCI Institute's scientific computing
>research are to create new techniques, tools, and systems, by which
>scientists may solve problems affecting various aspects of human life.
>We believe that to advance the state-of-the-art and create meaningful
>computational solutions for such complex systems, one needs to advance
>research in a number of areas within scientific computing, including:
>visualization, simulation, and modeling.
>
>Furthermore, for this algorithmic and software research to have a real
>impact outside of scientific computing and computer science, these
>components must be integrated with data and application specific
>knowledge within intuitive software systems, problem solving
>environments (PSEs) or computational workbenches.
>
>The SCI Institute presents a highly challenging, collaborative work
>environment that can be deeply rewarding for the right individual.
