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.
Post-doctoral position at Argonne National Labor ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position is available at Argonne National Laboratory, USA.
The candidate will work on an ALCF Early Science Program (ESP) project (http://www.alcf.anl.gov/articles/alcf-selects-projects-theta-early-science-program) targeting first principles simulations of functional materials for energy conversion on ANL forthcoming Theta supercomputer. The project PI is Prof. G. Galli (University of Chicago). Ideal candidates will have scientific expertise in electronic structure methods, knowledge of high performance computing (compilers, libraries, hardware), and be active participants in the research.
Computational methods will include ab initio molecular dynamics with semi-local and hybrid functionals and many-body perturbation theory, using the Qbox (http://qboxcode.org/) and WEST (http://www.west-code.org/) codes developed at the University of California Davis and at the University of Chicago, respectively. This postdoc will draw on knowledge of electronic structure and high performance computational (HPC) science to prepare and optimize codes for the >8 petaFLOPS Cray/Intel system based on the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Phi processor (Knights Landing: KNL). Performance tools will be used to identify bottlenecks in simulations (load imbalances, I/O problems, memory constraints, etc.).
The activity will be supervised by Prof. G. Galli (UChicago) and Prof. F. Gygi (UC Davis), and will be carried out in collaboration with Dr. M.Govoni (ANL). The postdoc will also work closely in collaboration with multi-disciplinary science project teams including the project PI and team members, ALCF staff, and Cray/Intel staff. This two-year position is based at the ALCF, but the postdoc will travel to home institutions of project investigators as appropriate for close collaboration.
Interested candidates should email Giulia Galli ([email protected]) and Marco Govoni ([email protected]). Please attach a CV in pdf format, and supply names and contact information for references. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately.
