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 Research Software Engineer - CP2K ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Centre for Computational Physics at the University of Lincoln, UK has a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher and software developer in the field of quantum methods of materials science to work on the open-source CP2K software. The post is for 3 years and is a part of Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded project “CP2K For Emerging Architectures And Machine Learning”, EP/W030489/1. You will work with the project lead Dr Matt Watkins, as well as co-Investigators at Universities of Cambridge, York, Nottingham, Edinburgh and University College London as well as the wider CP2K community worldwide.
CP2K ( https://www.cp2k.org/ ) is a highly efficient and parallelizable open-source atomistic simulation tool able to calculate the energies, forces, and many properties of large collections of atoms at a variety of levels of theory. This makes it a prime candidate for usage in novel machine learning and other data driven areas of research (as well as more traditional materials science work). CP2K is consistently in the top three most used codes on UK national supercomputers (and with a large international user base), is well engineered and is widely used in procurement of HPC resources.
Currently, we are experiencing a change in basic assumptions in the materials modelling community as machine learning (ML) and data driven approaches transform how we approach scientific problems. The work in this project will help the usability and expose the wide functionality of CP2K to enable scientific creativity in these developing areas. The project offers an opportunity for both technical development and community engagement as part of an international scientific project.
You will join a friendly community at an expanding research Centre for Computational Physics, which focuses on the development and application of computational methods to system modelling, materials design and foundations of physics and astrophysics. We are a part of the fast-rising University of Lincoln located at the heart of the historic city of Lincoln.
Please send enquiries about the project to the Principal Investigator, Prof. Matt Watkins: [email protected].
You should hold a PhD in a relevant area of Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics or Applied Mathematics (or a thesis submitted by the start date of the position) or have an equivalent track record in scientific software development.
