We have a dedicated and creative staff of over 6,000 people! Our vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) is to cultivate an environment and practices that foster diversity in ideas and in the people across the organization, as well as to ensure ORNL is recognized as a workplace of choice. These elements are critical for enabling the execution of ORNL’s broader mission to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into energy, environment, and security solutions for the nation.
The Organization:
The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) provides pioneering computational and data science infrastructure for technical and scientific professionals to accelerate scientific discovery and engineering advances across a broad range of subject areas.

The Team:
The System Acceptance and User Environment Group of the Operations Section ensures the functionality, performance, and usability of new NCCS systems through activities such as test development, acceptance, software installation, documentation, and early user support for all NCCS pre-production systems. The group supports the NCCS in delivering robust and resilient integrated ecosystems to its user community, as well as the ubiquitous need for data orchestration and workflow management requirements that come as part of an evolving convergence of high-performance computing(HPC)and data analytics.

- Respond to general administrative questions (e.g., system status, requests for accessor special accommodation)
- Implement special projects as requested (e.g., metrics, cyber security, policy discussions)
