I am on the search committee to find a new Manager of Computing Services at Argonne. We expect to acquire an entry-level supercomputer (in the Cray XMP-1 or Amdahl 1100 range, not a Crayette) in a few months and particularly seek an individual who is knowledgeable in large scale scientific and engineering computing. This type of individual may be known to members of this bulletin board. Paul Messina JOB ANNOUNCEMENT Argonne National Laboratory is searching for a new Manager of Computing Services.
