Job description

The Julich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) operates one of the most powerful supercomputing Infrastructures in Europe, making it available to researchers at the Forschungszentrum Julich (FZJ), in Germany, and throughout Europe. Within the division HPC for Quantum Systems, the Simulation and Data Laboratory (SDL) Numerical Quantum Field Theory aims to understand the properties of strongly interacting/correlated matter, with scientific objectives range from the study of nucleon properties to strongly correlated electronic systems, such as carbon nanostructures. To study these systems, the SDL develops algorithms and implementations for various high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Within the project B2 of the recently granted Collaborative Research Centre NuMeriQS of Bonn University, the Max-Planck-Institut for Kohlenforschung, and JSC we are offering a PostDoc position with a focus on the development of performance portable software for these simulations.

Your Profile:

• Completed Master`s degree and subsequent PhD degree in physics or related field 
• Knowledge of lattice quantum field theory 
• Strong background in C++
• Experience with accelerated and architectures, Linux and high-performance computing (HPC)
• Experience with profiling and performance optimization would be welcome assets
• Willingness present results at international conferences 
• Good command of English, knowledge of German is not a prerequisite (language courses are offered)
