POSITION SUMMARY
The Scientific Computing Core (SCC) 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 research software engineer/scientific compting 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 generally from late-May through mid-August 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.
