Something's a bit fishy about this "job posting":
- It doesn't appear on the SLAC job listings
http://www-public.slac.stanford.edu/hr/jobs/search.asp
nor does it have a SLAC job reference number or
standard boiler plate about the DOE.
-the contact is a hotmail address.
-There is no with the last name "Edward" or "Kowal" in the
SLAC phone book (which contains not only employees, but
anyone with valid ID's).

I'm not sure what's going on, but I'd guess it's someone
trying to start a company to write software and sell it to SLAC.

Actually, I am a new hire from the private sector at SLAC. There are, of
course, entries in the SLAC personnel that are not visible to the public, as
per California law. Furthermore, posting to the SLAC website requires the
co-operation of government employees, who do not work very diligently on
Friday afternoons.

This position is only partially funded by DoE, as many positions at SLAC in
the future may be.

Anyone concerned with the authenticity of the posting can directly mail me
at
mkowalsk@slac.stanford.edu or acd-jobs@slac.stanford.edu .

The Advanced Computation Department (ACD) at the Stanford Linear
Accelerator Center (SLAC) is currently seeking a computational scientist /
parallel software engineer. We offer the opportunity to work with
best-of-class eigensolvers, particle-in-cell, and time-marching codes for
the electrodynamic ****ysis of particle accelerators. For example, current
capabilities include the modeling of resonant structures via tens of
millions of degrees of freedom while achieving accuracies of better than 1
part in 10,000. As part of the Scientific Discovery through Advanced
Computing (SciDAC, see http://www.scidac.org/), we enjoy extensive access to
the fastest unclassified supercomputer in the United States. Other ongoing
efforts in computational modeling include thermodynamic ****ysis of
structure heating and deformation, optimization studies of beam crossing
angles, and ****ysis of the impact of multi-scale seismic disturbances on
accelerator performance. Furthermore, we offer the opportunity to work in a
relaxed atmosphere (with an idyllic climate) that has produced several Nobel
laureates.

Qualified individuals will hold an advanced degree in a relevant
discipline and preferably have previous experience in the development of
high performance software in massively parallel processing environments.
Particular skills of interest include experience with message passing (e.g.
MPI), object-oriented software development (in C++ and/or f90), and use of
public-domain numerical ****ysis packages (LAPACK, BLAS, etc.). An interest
in high energy physics would be advantageous. U.S. citizenship or permanent
resident status is not required. Interested individuals should send a CV
and letter of interest to acd-job@slac.stanford.edu . This search will
close September 15, 2003.
