Job Description

Requisition Id 16505 

Overview:


The Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking an exceptional Postdoctoral Researcher to advance programming systems for extreme-scale, heterogeneous computing. This role sits at the intersection of compiler infrastructure, formal verification, runtime systems, and hardware/software co‑design—expanding into emerging paradigms such as quantum and analog computational models.

You will explore how compilers, runtimes, and AI-driven agents can co-optimize complex architectures, reasoning across conventional processors (CPUs/GPUs), custom accelerators, and next-generation quantum and analog devices. Your work will contribute to a vision of autonomous system engineering in which AI agents understand algorithmic intent, architectural constraints, and performance models—driving system co-design across the entire computing stack.
