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 development position at IOM-CNR, Triest ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A post-doctoral position in the field of electronic-structure software development is available at IOM-CNR, Trieste, Italy. The positions, funded by the MaX - Materials at the exascale EU Horizon2020 Centre of Excellence, is for one year, renewable for another year. Requirements include a PhD in a scientific discipline and research experience in computer simulations and/or in scientific software programming. Experience with density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, especially with the plane wave-pseudopotential method, is a plus.
The successful candidate will work on the Quantum ESPRESSO software distribution in one or more of the following topics, depending upon his/her skill set:
- development of new methods and algorithms for advanced DFT functionals;
- refactoring and modularisation of the code basis, notably for first-principle molecular dynamics, linear response, computational spectroscopy;
- porting of Quantum ESPRESSO new heterogeneous accelerated architectures (e.g., GPUs);
- improvement of Quantum ESPRESSO user experience, users’ and developers’ documentation, testing.
The work requires coordination and interactions with the Quantum ESPRESSO users'
and developers' community and with the MaX EU Centre of Excellence.
