Postdoctoral Scholar - Thermodynamic Computing at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

The Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is hiring a Postdoctoral Scholar - Thermodynamic Computing to scale thermodynamic computing, a physics-based classical computing approach using thermal noise. The postdoc will run large-scale nonlinear, nonequilibrium thermodynamic computer simulations on GPUs at NERSC, benchmark their accuracy, speed, and energy cost against digital neural networks, investigate design choices affecting inference and energy dissipation, maintain reproducible simulation code, and publish research. The role requires a relevant PhD, numerical-simulation or machine-learning experience, scientific-programming proficiency, independent research ability, communication skills, and GPU/HPC experience; it is a full-time two-year appointment based in Berkeley, California, with a salary range of $99,192 to $110,808.
