of the LERO Research Centre and will be based in the ICHEC Dublin offices.
Job Description:
The team’s research focuses on data management and high performance I/O. As HPC & web-scale
computing both approach exascale, architectures are becoming massively parallel. Working with industry
partners, the job will focus on investigating new approaches to extract the best performance efficiency
across the I/O hierarchy on future extreme scale systems and will target specific domains including Climate,
Oil & Gas, Life Sciences and Finance. The successful candidate will collaborate primarily with other LERO
researchers and with R&D teams based at industry partners.

4+ yrs.) in computer science or related discipline. The ideal candidate would have an in-depth understanding
of software development methods in general, should have expert level C/C++ and Linux knowledge as well
as in-depth experience with storage architectures, parallel file systems (preferably Lustre or GPFS), I/O
strategies, MPI I/O and parallel I/O libraries. Candidates should have excellent communication and
organizational skills; be highly motivated and passionate about developing new products; and have strong
documentation, oral and interpersonal skills.
