Research Software Engineering for Exascale High- ... (No replies)
What: Research Software Engineering posts in first-principles materials modelling
Where: School of Physics, Engineering and Technology, the University of York, UK
When: Apply by Friday 18th November 2022
Two Research Software Engineer (RSE) posts are available to develop high-performance electronic structure software in the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York, UK. These posts are part of the "Particles At eXascale" (PAX-HPC) project, a component of the UK's "ExCALIBUR" exascale high-performance computing readiness programme. PAX-HPC is a large project of 11 RSEs across the UK, and with many international and industrial partners, and it covers particle-based simulation software from atomistic to astrophysical domains. At York, our focus is on electronic structure simulations of materials, but there will be opportunities to collaborate with researchers and RSEs across the project.
The overall PAX-HPC project involves developing scalable, efficient, user-friendly simulation software for new science on massively-parallel high-performance computers, and work includes new parallel methods and decompositions, task-based parallelism, porting and optimisation for GPUs and other accelerators, and implementing high-level APIs in simulation software to aid code-coupling for multiscale/multiphysics simulations. The group at York will be focusing particularly on the plane-wave DFT program CASTEP, the linear-scaling DFT program ONETEP and the Quantum Monte Carlo code CASINO.
The successful candidates will join a friendly, collaborative team of computational scientists and research software engineers, who develop first-principles materials modelling software to support a large international user community, including many experimentalists and industrial scientists. Previous experience in high-performance computing and/or first-principles materials modelling is desirable, but training and support is available for any missing skills.
The application deadline is Friday 18th November 2022.
