PARALLEL COMPUTING OPPORTUNITY
NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

The Division of Computer Research and Technology (DCRT) of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) has a post-doctoral position
currently available for a computer engineer, computer scientist,
electrical engineer, applied mathematician, or physical scientist.
DCRT is accepting resumes from applicants with a doctoral degree who
are interested in applying scalable parallel processing technology to 
advanced research problems at NIH.  The successful candidate will
conduct original research in the application of parallel computing to
computational problems in biology and medicine. The range of research
problems includes but is not limited to biomedical image processing,
medical imaging, computational structural biology, computational
chemistry, computational neuroscience, computational cardiology,
scientific visualization, biomedical signal processing, genetic
database searching, genetic linkage analysis, radiation oncology, and
statistical methodology.  

NIH, a federal government agency and world renowned biomedical research
institution, offers an outstanding working environment with excellent 
facilities and resources, and the opportunity to work in an
institution where the fight to defeat disease and improve man's health
is paramount.  NIH is conveniently located in Bethesda, MD close to
Washington, D.C.  The Medical Center Metro stop is located on the NIH
