塞浦路斯大学2020年招聘博士后职位（量子场论模拟方向）

Postdoctoral Fellow(S) For Lattice Qcd (Ref. No. Castorc_Pdf_20_06) (# Of Pos: 2)

Job Description

CaSToRC is looking to recruit Postdoctoral Fellow(s) specialized in large scale simulations of quantum field theories with strong experience in HPC including novel computer architectures. In the framework of a joint effort funded by the 6th Implementation Phase of PRACE (https:// www. prace- project.eu/) to prepare European application codes for exascale systems, the successful candidate(s) will work within a team of scientists at the Cyprus Institute for the development of lattice QCD software of next generation supercomputers. Within the sub-project led by CaSToRC, with partners at INRIA in France and LRZ in Germany, the selected candidate(s) will develop and optimize linear solvers, including Krylov Block and multigrid methods, use advanced parallel approaches, and enable software on novel innovative computer architectures.

The Post-Doctoral Fellow(s) will be involved in the research of the local group which is a member of the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC). The group carries out common projects within the collaboration and notably with the groups at DESY-Zeuthen, Bonn, Frankfurt, Rome and Temple University. Beyond ETMC, members of the group maintain collaborations with the lattice QCD groups at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, Wuppertal University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The appointment will be on a full time basis, initially for a period of two years, with the potential of renewal depending on performance and availability of funds. The remuneration of the position will depend on the selected candidate's qualifications.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be carrying out the following activities

Participation in the research activities of the lattice QCD group at CaSToRC

Development and evaluation of new solver algorithms, suitable for pre-exascale and exascale computers

Implementation of codes in community software packages

Collaboration with lattice QCD community software developers for implementing lattice QCD libraries in community codes

Coordinating software development activities within the PRACE community. This will include coordinating with partners for synchronising, monitoring and reporting on progress of software development projects.

Required Qualifications

PhD student and MSc in Physics, Applied Mathematics. PhD completion required by beginning of December 2020.

Strong academic track record (publications, presentations at international conferences)

Strong computational background

Experience with High performance computing

Demonstrated experience with large scale simulations and linear solvers

Data analysis

Three (3) years of experience from the completion of MSc

Background in basic programming languages like C, C++ or Fortran

Background in parallel programming using MP

Knowledge in linear algebra

Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team

High-level communication and strong scientific and technical writing skills

High level of organizational, analytical and problem solving skills

Excellent knowledge of the English language (written and verbal)

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with using and programming iterative solvers, such as multigrid solvers, Krylov block solvers, or others

Experience in using and preferably programming GPUs and/or other optimizing computational kernels in general
