Current opportunities in CNERG CNERG is frequently seeking additional group members at all levels to assist us in our mission of delivering new computing capability for the analysis of nuclear energy systems. While each position will require specialized skills to fulfill that role, staff and students at all levels will be expected to become proficient with the basic tools of robust software development. We often refer to these skills collectively as Software Carpentry. Students who join the CNERG community will be given opportunities to develop those skills. Professionals will be expected to bring some of these skills to the community when they arrive. Graduate Student Assistantships The availability of funded assistantships varies from year to year.
