Job Description Job DescriptionWe have multiple openings for Machine Learning Researchers in the field of scalable machine learning to join our team to help advance the discipline, as well as to apply cutting edge tools and techniques to some of society's most important problems. You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team consisting of machine learning experts, data science practitioners, and domain scientists in areas such as high energy density physics, material science, cancer biology, natural language processing, and multi-physics simulations. You will also have the opportunity develop and lead independent research thrust and engage with a variety of related research projects in parallel computing, large scale machine learning, data analysis and visualization, or applied mathematics.These positions are in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC) Division within the Computing Directorate.In this role you will- Research, develop, implement, and evaluate new parallel algorithms and machine learning techniques.
- Jointly explore the potential for machine learning research to solve domain specific challenges by interacting with subject matter experts in various fields.
- Adapt current machine learning research to real world applications at scale, with potentially limited noisy data, with a high consequence of error, and integrate solutions into practical tool chains.
- Present and disseminate research results at scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed publications.
- Provide input to future research directions and author grant proposals including proposal presentations to potential sponsors.
- Accomplish research goals in collaboration with a broad spectrum of scientists and engineers, internally and externally.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
- Independently solve complex research challenges in theoretical or applied machine learning.
- Lead small to mid-sized projects related to machine learning and its application to one or multiple mission related scientific applications.
- Serve as a primary technical contact on projects and/or areas of expertise.
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics or a related field or the equivalent combination of education and related experience.
- Experience in at either parallel, distributed memory algorithms or at least one machine learning research area such as computer vision, natural language processing, robust optimization, interpretability, or graph-based learning
- Broad experience in modern machine learning environments (i.e., TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch and related data ecosystems).
- Experience with software development environments such as Python, C, and MPI.
- Experience with common UNIX tools and version control.
- Proficient verbal and written communication skills necessary to interact with a multi-disciplinary research team, author technical and scientific reports and papers, and deliver scientific presentations.
