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 Scientist for Electronic Structure Code ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are seeking a motivated, excellent Software Developer with strong skills in electronic-structure methods, atomistic simulations, and scientific-software development to help advance the FHI-aims electronic-structure code as a primary platform for density-functional, many-body perturbation theory, and quantum chemistry calculations.
The employment is at the non-profit association MS1P with an office either at the NOMAD Laboratory at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin (Matthias Scheffler) or the Duke University in North Carolina (Volker Blum). The offered position is a 2–year full-time position at the level of a German TVöD E13 or 14 contract with the possibility of extension.
About FHI-aims
FHI-aims is an efficient, high-precision all-electron electronic-structure package with a broad community of users and developers both in academia and industry. Ongoing developments cover essentially all current directions in electronic-structure theory (see https://th.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/meetings/FHI-aims-2020/index.php?n=Meeting.Program), and the code runs efficiently on platforms from laptops to all current major high-performance architectures.
Responsibilities
You will work in the center of the code, assisting with new releases, issues related to code stability, usability, and performance, and help with integrating contributions from other developers. Help with integrating FHI-aims with the broader ecosystem of open-source software developments surrounding electronic structure theory is additionally expected. Furthermore, your responsibilities will include the work with end-users of FHI-aims, particularly in industry, on issues related to their use of FHI-aims.
Benefits
You will be embedded in a larger team working on developments such as massive parallelism (CPU and GPU), exascale computing, as well as advanced electronic-structure methods (GW, coupled-cluster theory for solids, QM/MM, and more), a graphical user interface, and workflows facilitated by external frameworks (e.g. ASE, Fireworks). All technical, methodological, and scientific contributions to FHI-aims are intended to be publishable and the ability to assist with and/or lead such publications is expected.
Qualifications
Particularly desirable experience includes:
A good background in quantum mechanics of the condensed phase, including density-functional theory and many-body methods for molecules, nanosystems, and solids, is essential.
