Join us for the first 2025 session of the HPC-Workforce Community Group’s Workforce Webinars, designed especially for computational scientists and engineers getting ready to interview for jobs . The webinar will be held on Zoom.
Webinar Overview:
Tips for a Successful Interview (with a bias toward lab and industry interviews)
Have you ever wondered what the interview process is like for a lab or industry research position? Have you wanted to better understand the purpose for each part of the interview process? Have you wanted some advice on things to consider or what you should do to prepare for an interview for a lab or industry position? If you answered Yes! to any of these questions, then come to this talk. I will overview the different interview types, giving information about the goals of each, then give information on strategies and things to think about as you approach the interview. We will end with time for questions and discussion.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Carol Woodward is a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Her research interests include numerical methods for nonlinear partial differential equations, nonlinear and linear solvers, time integration methods, numerical software development, and parallel computing. She currently is the Director of the Frameworks, Algorithms, and Software Technologies (FASTMath) SciDAC Institute. She also leads the development and deployment of the SUNDIALS package of time integrators and nonlinear solvers which garners over 100,000 downloads/clones each year. Dr. Woodward serves as President of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
This event is brought to you by the HPC-Workforce Community Group, supported by the DOE Consortium for the Advancement of Scientific Software (CASS) and dedicated volunteers across the HPC community. This is group is the follow on to the ECP HPC Workforce Action group.
We aim to have a webinar on a quarterly basis to help support HPC and advanced computing workforce development and retention.
