Duties:

As the Associate Director, Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research, you will:

• Serve as an international expert in the areas of research and the scientific user facilities supported by the Office's program. Formulate program goals, strategic directions, priorities, and plans for the Office, factoring in advice provided by the scientific advisory committee, as appropriate.
• Formulate, direct, implement, administer, evaluate, and defend programs and policies necessary for the efficient implementation of a complex, comprehensive program in advanced scientific computing and computational science research. Prepare complex reports, papers, and policies on subjects covering areas of research and the scientific user facilities to be used by a variety of individuals and/groups.
• Develop the budget requirements for activities at national laboratories, universities, and other research institutions. Assist the head of the organization in formulating budget requests and defending budget requests through DOE, the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Congressional committees.
• Integrate the efforts of the program elements, particularly the elements that support research with those that support the design, construction, and operations of instrumentation and the scientific user facilities. Integrate the program with other organizational programs; other DOE and Federal research programs such as those of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and National Science Foundation (NSF). Assure effective interagency planning, coordination, and evaluation of programs that cut across agencies.

 Overview

The Office of Science is the largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, providing more than 40 percent of total funding in this area. It oversees and is the principal federal funding agency of the Nation's research programs in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, fusion energy sciences, materials and chemical sciences, biological and environmental sciences, and computing sciences.

 The Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program supports fundamental peer-reviewed research to discover, develop, and deploy computational and networking, algorithms, methods and capabilities to analyze, model, simulate, and predict complex phenomena important to the Department of Energy. The scope of the work includes exploration of future computing technologies for scientific applications. The work is accomplished by the effective scientific utilization of high-end capability, and by promoting dynamic computational partnerships among application scientists, applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and facility staff.
