COMPUTER SCIENTIST Los Alamos National Laboratory has one of the world's largest scientific computing centers integrated in a network serving more than 6,000 users. The network connects user terminals, worker computers (including the latest supercomputers), data storage systems and output systems to provide users with a very powerful interactive computing environment. A critical component of this environment is the Common File System, which provides a state-of-the-art data storage and data management system. The Common File System software is implemented as PL/1 programs that run on dedicated IBM 3083 computers. IBM 3380 disk, IBM 3850 MSS and IBM 3480 tape are operated as a storage hierarchy to provide quick access to a large capacity storage. Openings exist for highly qualified individuals in the group that is responsible for data storage systems. These individuals will develop and maintain software for the Common File System, and will participate in the planning, acquisition and installation of new mass storage systems. Applicants must have a demonstrated ability to design and implement large computer software systems. Experience with PL/1 programming, IBM operating systems and structured design techniques is desirable. These positions require a M.S./B.S. in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and work experience. We offer competitive salaries and fringe benefits including 24 days annual vacation; 18 days annual sick leave; 11 paid holidays; medical, dental and retirement programs. The Los Alamos National Laboratory is located in the mountains of northern New Mexico, 30 miles northwest of Santa Fe at an elevation of 7400 feet. The living is uncrowded, casual, and pollution free. The sunny climate is superb with cool summers and mild winters. Los Alamos has an excellent school system and ample recreational opportunities.
