NERSC Seeking Applicants for Alvarez Post-Doctoral Fellowship Deadline for applications is March 3 BERKELEY, Calif. The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is now accepting applications for the Luis W. Alvarez Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Computational Science. The deadline for applications for the coming academic year is Monday, March 3, 2003. The fellowship, sponsored by the Computational Research and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center divisions at Berkeley Lab, was established to encourage the development and application of tools to advance scientific research. NERSC is an NPACI Associate Partner. The fellowship enables a recent graduate with a Ph.D. (or equivalent) to acquire further scientific training and to develop professional maturity for independent research. Applicants must be recent graduates (within the past four years) with a strong emphasis on computing or computational science. The Alvarez Fellowship is offered as a one-year term appointment with the possibility of a one-year renewal. The successful applicant will be compensated with a competitive salary and excellent benefits. Additionally, the successful candidate will have access to the NERSC Center's high-performance computing resources.

Alvarez Postdoctoral Fellowship c/o Diane Heim Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 1 Cyclotron Road, MS 50B-4230 Berkeley, CA 94720 The fellowship is named for Dr. Luis W. Alvarez, the Nobel Laureate and physicist who worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In the 1950s, Dr. Alvarez opened a new era in high-energy physics research with his proposal to build a pressurized chamber filled with liquid hydrogen. Known as a "bubble chamber," this device would allow scientists to discover new particles and analyze their behavior. In his 1955 prospectus for such an experimental facility, Dr. Alvarez became one of the first scientists to propose using computing devices for analyzing experimental data, even before such computers were actually available. "NERSC is proud to offer the Luis W. Alvarez Fellowship in Computational Science as another means of helping educate the next generation of computational scientists," said NERSC Director Horst Simon. "We encourage those who share Dr. Alvarez’ scientific curiosity and dedication to join us in our efforts."

75th Anniversary Mug Anniversary Index Home Page The Call of Catastrophes By RICHARD MONASTERSKY I n the fall of 1973, a young geologist named Walter Alvarez explored a limestone gorge just outside the medieval walls of Gubbio, Italy. Chipping away at the layers of rock with his hammer, Alvarez stumbled onto something that would revolutionize how scientists view our planet and the history of life. Alvarez, together with his father, Nobel prizewinning physicist Luis W. Alvarez, and two other researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered a pencil-thin layer of clay containing unearthly amounts of the element iridium. In 1980, the team interpreted the iridium layer as evidence that a huge comet or meteorite slammed into Earth 65 million years ago with a strength 10,000 times the explosive power of the global nuclear arsenal. This planetary concussion, posited the scientists, offered the long-sought explanation for the disappearance of the dinosaurs and many other animals at the end of Earth's Cretaceous period. The Berkeley team's work focused unprecedented attention on events at the close of the Cretaceous, making this distant time one of the best-studied moments in Earth's history. William Glen, a geophysicist and historian who has tracked the impact debate, counted more than 2,500 papers and books published on the topic by 1993. In terms of its influence on future science, Glen ranks the impact hypothesis even above that of the plate tectonics revolution of the 1960s.

The Scientist 2[18]:25, Oct. 03, 1988 News Nobel Laureate Luis Alvarez Dies at 77; Noted For Diverse Career And Controversial Theories By Bruce Fellman Date: October 03, 1988 Physicist Luis Walter Alvarez, a age 77, lost a long battle with can cer on September 1,1988—and the scientific community lost one of it most creative and feisty members Luie, as he was known by colleagues and castigators alike, won numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1968 for his work in developing, and experimenting with, the hydrogen bubble chamber a device used to track the paths of, and thus identify, elementary particles. But long before that he bad been a key member of the Manhattan Project, working to develop the atomic bomb. And two decades after he received sciences most prestigious award—indeed almost to the day he died—he was at the center of a major scientific controversy (see story below) over the precise cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Two traits help explain why Alvarez had such a long, rich, and unusually diverse career—the twin abilities to tinker and to discover. The physicist, who began a lifelong association with the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley, after receiving his doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1936, held 40 US. patents and was elected into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1978.

The Scientist 2[18]:25, Oct. 03, 1988 Profile Shootout At The K/T Boundary By Bruce Fellman Date: October 03, 1988 Several years ago, paleontologist Dewey M. McLean stepped to the podium at a conference on the climatological effects of volcanoes. The silver-haired professor from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute looked out over the packed house like a pastor surveying his flock. He was about to deliver a sermon— well, a paper actually—that would take on one of the exalted among his priesthood—the redoubtable Nobel laureate Luis W. Alvarez. Specifically, McLean was about to challenge Alvarez’s well-publicized theory that an asteroid had caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and thousands of other species 65 million years ago. The real angel of death, he would argue, was a “greenhouse effect” caused by intense volcanic activity. The audience of scientists was looking forward to the talk; most of them were fellow heretics. But before McLean could begin, something started roaring outside the auditorium. The noise grew quickly, and as it reached near-deafening dimensions, McLean looked heavenward smiled, and said to the assembled multitude, “Here it comes.” Everyone laughed. It was only a torrential downpour. Even Alvarez, for all his supposed power, couldn’t order an asteroid to conveniently squash opposition to his controversial theory. Still, there was a touch of nervousness to the audience’s laughter. At the time, there were dark rumors circulating that Alvarez would stop at nothing to stifle dissent. Even now, a number of vocal critics of the asteroid-impact theory are firmly convinced that the late Nobel laureate was pulling strings behind the scenes—and that the price of hewing to what they perceive as the scientific truth was loss of access to news coverage, grant money, the leading journals, and even tenure.
