We have an exciting opportunity for a number of Computational Scientists to join the Scientific Computing Department’s team developing databases for machine learning interatomic potentials. You will be doing ground-breaking work alongside leading researchers at the cutting-edge of machine learning and modelling.
Location: Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington OR Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire
Closing date: 25th October 2022
About the Role
The work forms part of the recently funded Physical Science Data Infrastructure PSDI [1]. PSDI aims to accelerate research in the physical sciences by providing a data infrastructure that brings together and builds upon the various data systems researchers currently use. The post will focus on i) providing databases and develop an API for Machine learned interatomic potentials, MLIP, to the community. ii) creating workflows for benchmarking, training and validation of MLIPs, iii) exploitation of MLIP to explain experimental results provided by ISIS Neutron and Muon Source.
The post will be based at Daresbury Laboratory or Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
A central tenet of the initiative is knowledge exchange. You will attend regular meetings with the other researchers and software engineers within STFC and UK universities and present your work at larger meetings of the community and national and international conferences. We will also interact with other related activities in the STFC Scientific Computing Department and its partners.
We are looking for people with:
You will also be asked to provide a relevant sample of code that you have written.
The Scientific Computing Department has an excellent track record in high-end computing, scientific software development and related research. The group has access to a number of HPC platforms, as well as access to the ARCHER2 national supercomputer and some Tier 2 HPC centres.
What we can offer you
STFC is an open and inclusive work environment, committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion, and we are committed to developing our staff, and training will be provided in relevant areas.
STFC offers a working environment and benefits package designed to provide an excellent work/life balance.
