Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is advancing the scope of human knowledge & seeking science solutions to the greatest problems facing humankind.Data Department Head (AI, Science Engagement, and Storage) - 99757
Division: NE-NERSC
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL) National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC, https://www.nersc.gov/) is inviting applications for the position of Data Department Head (AI, Science Engagement, and Storage).
NERSC’s mission is to accelerate scientific discovery through high performance computing, data analysis and AI for the DOE Office of Science programs. NERSC provides critical HPC and data systems and support for NERSC’s 9000+ users researching alternative energy sources, climate science, energy efficiency, environmental science and other DOE mission areas. Data intensive computing is becoming a larger fraction of the NERSC workload as DOE Experimental and Observational Facilities increasingly transfer data to NERSC to analyze. NERSC is seeking an inspired leader for the Data Department who will provide vision and guidance for a department that includes the following groups: Data and AI Services, Data Science Engagement and Storage Systems.
The department of approximately 40 technical staff members and postdocs is responsible for supporting a range of data processing and AI software, engaging with experimental and observational science, as well as deploying and operating community and HPSS storage systems. The Data Department Head is a member of the management team that sets strategic directions and prioritizes work across NERSC, and works closely with colleagues in the national laboratories, leading research universities, Department of Energy and HPC communities.
What You Will Do:
• Serve as a key member of NERSC’s leadership team to set strategic directions for NERSC and influence the direction of the HPC community on a large-scale, nationwide basis.

• Work closely with other teams and departments at NERSC to enable large-scale data intensive applications to run seamlessly across NERSC’s supercomputing and data systems.
• Maintain a work environment that embraces diversity and fosters creativity and innovation.
• Ensure that DOE and Laboratory rules and policies are observed.
What is Required:
• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent related experience) in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science (or related fields) and a minimum of 12 years related experience and 5 years in a supervisory role.
• Nationally recognized expertise in one or more of the following areas: HPC systems and applications, data intensive computing, AI and/or storage.
• Experience running applications on, or deploying large-scale HPC and data systems.
• Demonstrated experience/proven track record managing large organizations and/or complex projects.
• Demonstrated ability to run a moderate-sized, team-oriented organization and attract, retain and develop a talented and diverse staff, foster positive work relationships and to resolve technical and interpersonal conflicts with diplomacy and tact.
