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.

Software Developer in the Center for Quantum Materials Engineering, University of Texas at Austin
Applications are invited for one Software Developer post in the Center for Quantum Materials Engineering within the Oden Institute for Computational and Engineering Sciences, University of Texas at Austin.
The successful candidate will primarily work on the development and maintenance of the EPW code (http://epw.org.uk), a leading open-source software for the study of electron-phonon interactions and phonon-mediated quantum processes. The overarching aim of this project is to refactor EPW in preparation for future exascale computing architectures, and to enable efficient execution on leadership-class supercomputers of the U.S. Department of Energy. Additional tasks will include coordinating and facilitating the development of EPW as a community code, coordinating the periodic releases of EPW in conjunction with the QE suite, collaborating with QE developers, and providing user support through the user forum, online documentation, and training.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or computer science. Experience with electronic structure codes based on density functional theory, software development, and high-performance computing is essential. Familiarity with large-scale software projects, revision control, continuous integration, and code profiling are desirable. Prior experience with GPU architectures would be a plus.
The appointed candidate will join the Center for Quantum Materials Engineering, a research team led by Prof. Giustino within the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences. He/She will will work closely with software engineers and HPC specialists at TACC, the Texas Advanced Computing Center. TACC is located minutes from the UT campus and hosts Frontera, the 5th most powerful supercomputer in the world.
This position is for up to four years, starting as soon as possible. The salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. It is anticipated that this project could lead to subsequent employment in a software engineering role at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, depending on performance and mutual interest.
