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.
MHPC - Master in High Performance Computing (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Registration is now open for the 2016/2017 edition of the SISSA/ICTP Master in High Performance Computing (MHPC).
Applications can be completed online until July 6, 2016 at http://mhpc.it/how-apply.
The programme
Now in its third edition, this exclusive Master’s programme selects 15 high-profile participants from a large pool of applicants. See also http://mhpc.it/
The Master in High Performance Computing is an innovative degree programme that prepares students for exciting careers in the fast-growing field of HPC. Set in the stimulating research environment of its co-organizing institutions, SISSA and ICTP in Trieste (Italy), the programme combines lectures with hands-on and applied projects to prepare future HPC specialists for academia and industry.
MHPC coursework is driven by challenging scientific and technical problems that require an HPC approach. Lectures are provided by SISSA and ICTP staff and highly recognized international experts. Both institutes have long histories and experience in developing and applying scientific and research computation models.
Students who successfully complete the programme will be able to address problems requiring advanced computational techniques in multiple domains, and communicate HPC technological issues in all scientific and industrial environments.
Facilities
SISSA and ICTP host one of the largest HPC facilities in Italy, and it will be available to MHPC students.
Students will work on a new HPC cluster with more than 4000 cores based on the newest technology. This allows student to gain direct experience in a production environment and to explore characteristics and configurations of an HPC cluster.
The HPC system also provides a number of nodes with accelerators explicitly dedicated to advanced research projects. The in-house facilities are complemented by state-of-the-art facilities available world wide to computational research groups involved with the MHPC. Experimental HPC facilities are also available trough European research programme which involves local scientific research institution and companies.
SISSA - International School for Advanced Studies
SISSA, the International School for Advanced Studies, was founded in 1978 and is a scientific center of excellence within the national and international academic scene. Located in Italy, in the city of Trieste, it features about 65 professors, approximately 100 post-docs and 250 PhD students. The three main research areas of SISSA are Physics, Neuroscience and Mathematics.
