Stanford Data Science is seeking a Research Data Scientist to support a new initiative, Marlowe, a GPU-centric high-performance computing instrument designed to enable large-scale, data-intensive research, including sophisticated machine learning applications like large-language models. The role aims to unlock Marlowe's capabilities by developing and optimizing workflows and applications, and to act as a bridge between Marlowe and the research community by guiding researchers in adapting their applications to the GPU-powered infrastructure.
Requirements
- deep understanding of computational and data science, machine learning, and the scientific process.
- ability to leverage high-performance GPU computing to efficiently process and analyze large datasets.
- Comfortable running and troubleshooting jobs in a batch scheduled environment
- Considerable experience with Linux
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with Principal Investigators (PIs) and research groups to architect and optimize GPU-accelerated pipelines.
- Develop innovative computational methodologies
- Design advanced data movement strategies to minimize memory bottlenecks between CPU and GPU, including real-time data streaming methods for scientific applications.
- Partner with research teams to design novel algorithms and develop high-quality, reusable software to accelerate complex research projects.
- Assist PIs in applying for supercomputing resources at national centers once projects are scaled and workloads are appropriate.
- Install, configure, and maintain software stacks for core research functions.
- Integrate open science principles into research workflows, including software for data and computational provenance.
Other
- This is a 3-year fixed term appointment.
- Remote work for the Research Data Scientist position will be considered.
- The Research Data Scientist may be asked to attend certain in-person work events during the year regardless of remote status.
- Experience supervising technical staff including training, mentoring and coaching.
- Experience developing and writing grant proposals.
