Open position for a software engineer/web develo ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
An open position for a software engineer/web developer is available at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) in the MARVEL NCCR (http://marvel-nccr.ch).
For interested applicants scientific research challenges can also be incorporated in the effort, but this is not a requirement.
Excellent candidates are sought with experience in the development of complex web architectures powered by cloud technologies, to support the development and deployment of the Materials Cloud (http://www.materialscloud.org), a web portal for computational materials science powered by AiiDA (http://www.aiida.net).
AiiDA is a materials’ informatics framework that acts as a flexible and scalable infrastructure to manage high-throughput computations; Materials Cloud is a portal for computational materials science and an online cloud platform. Such infrastructure underpins the efforts of the MARVEL NCCR; close collaboration takes also place with the H2020 Centre of Excellence MaX for "Materials Design at the Exascale" (http://www.max-centre.eu/).
The project will focus on research case studies for the existing Materials Cloud platform, with primary focus on the portal frontend (in AngularJS) and optimization of its user interface and its ergonomic design, as well as support for the backend development (Python+Flask).
The software engineer would work with a team of 10+ PhD students, postdocs, and software specialists with diverse backgrounds (physicists, chemists, materials scientists and computer scientists) contributing both to AiiDA and the Materials Cloud.
How to apply
Candidates should submit 1) a full CV, including contacts for at least two references, and 2) a cover letter of intent. These documents (PDF only) should be emailed to both [email protected] and [email protected], with the exact text "MARVEL Web Engineer" in the subject line.
For best consideration, applications should be submitted by May 31st; the position will remain open until filled.
Duration of the contract: 1-year, renewable.
