POSITION AVAILABLE
COMPUTER GRAPHICS
NASA-
AMES RESEARCH CENTER
MOFFETT FIELD, CALIFORNIA 94035
The NASA Ames Research Center, located in Mountain View,
California, is seeking to identify qualified candidates for a
challenging position in computer graphics research and development.
The successful candidate will pursue computer graphics and
visualization research as part of an integrated team dedicated to
development and application of advanced 3D graphics techniques for
visualization of scientific results. There is an abundance of
scientific investigations at Ames driving state-of-the-art
developments in computer graphics and visualization. Opportunities
in application of computer graphics to space sciences and aeronautics
in the areas of computational physics (substantially fluid
dynamics), computational chemistry, experimental sciences, and
space biology research are just a few examples.
As one of NASA's leading research centers, Ames computer facilities
for graphics research include several supercomputers (currently
Cray XMP/48, Cray 2, Cyber 205), mainframes and superminis,
extensive array of high performance graphics workstations (e. g.,
Silicon Graphics IRIS), efficient local area networks, and access
to major national computer networks. Ames is strategically located
in the Silicon Valley providing immeasurable opportunities for
interaction with the industrial and academic communities.
Qualifications:
Advanced degree in mathematics, computer science or related
scientific disciplines with heavy emphasis on computer graphics
is desired. Substantial experience in development and application
of 3D computer graphics to visualization of scientific results
and their interpretation. Ability to conduct independent applied
research in computer graphics and visualization. Experience in
high level programming languages (Fortran and C preferred).
Other desirable qualifications include: Experience in a scientific
simulation environment employing supercomputers and/or workstations.
Experience in analyzing, displaying, and interpreting
large amounts of data from simulations and experiments.
Familiarity with major computer graphics packages, standards, and practices.
To Apply:
Please send comprehensive resume, the names of three references,
a short statement of research interests, and sample copies of any
publications to:
