Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
EPFL/THEOS/Marzari: two postdoctoral position on ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Dear Psi-k'ers,
two positions for computational physicists/computer scientists are available at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Lausanne, Switzerland) in the group of Prof. Nicola Marzari. The positions are supported by the Swiss Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) and are renewable yearly; current funding is for 3 years each. If so desired, a possible working location at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen) in the newly created Laboratory for Materials Simulations may be possible.
The positions will contribute to the development of scientific software to calculate spectral properties of materials on complex accelerated hardware architectures, as deployed in existing HPC systems and in future pre- and exascale machines. The positions will integrate existing implementations of advanced density-functional formulations (Koopman’s spectral functionals, extended Hubbard functionals (U/V/J), maximally-localized Wannier functions) with SIRIUS, a library for electronic structure calculations developed at Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) to provide support to several density-functional theory codes on accelerated architectures.
Outstanding candidates are sought with a strong interest in methodological and software development, and with programming abilities in Fortran and/or C++ and parallel computing, preferably with a background in physics/chemistry/materials or engineering/computer science. A knowledge of the CUDA programming model is a plus.
Close collaborations will take place with the Swiss Supercomputing Center CSCS, and natural synergies will be present with the Swiss National Centre MARVEL on Computational Design and Discovery of Novel Materials and the H2020 MaX Centre of Excellence on Materials Design at the eXascale.
The full text ad is attached (click on psi-k link) or can be found directly here; other openings in the group are listed here.
Deadline for best consideration is Oct 31 2021.
Many thanks for your attention,
