We invite applications for 6 postdoc and 2 high performance computing (HPC) software engineer positions within the newly funded European Center of Excellence TREX – “Targeting Real chemical accuracy at the EXascale”, which has launched its activities at the beginning of October.

TREX federates European scientists, HPC stakeholders, and SMEs to develop and apply quantum mechanical simulations in the framework of quantum Monte Carlo. This methodology encompasses various techniques at the high-end in the accuracy ladder of electronic structure approaches and is uniquely positioned to fully exploit the massive parallelism of the upcoming exascale architectures. A main focus will be the development of a user-friendly and open-source software platform in the domain of stochastic quantum chemistry simulations, which will enable the convergence of high-performance and high-throughput computing. See https://trex-coe.eu/ for further information.

Postdoc candidates should have a PhD in chemistry, physics, or a closely related field, with a good understanding of methods in quantum chemistry or condensed matter physics, and a strong interest in method and software development. The applicant for the position at the University of Versailles should have a computer science/HPC profile.

Software engineers should have a strong background in high performance computing and, preferably, some knowledge of quantum mechanics.
