[Job] Research software engineer MD/LB

[Rudolf Weeber]

Hi,


Research Software Engineer: Molecular dynamics and lattice-Boltzmann

The Institute for Computational Physics at the University of Stuttgart is 
looking for a research software engineer for work on our open source simulation 
package ESPResSo (https://espressomd.org). 

Topics include:
* Coupling of particle-based algorithms like molecular dynamics to 
lattice-based ones such as lattice-Boltzmann
* Off-loading of parts of the computation to GPUs using Cuda
* Performance engineering, in particular with respect to parallelism and Monte 
Carlo methods
* Occasional contributions to other packages, e.g., the lattice-Boltzmann 
software Walberla/PyStencils/LbmPy used by ESPResSo for lattice-Boltzmann and 
diffusion-advection-reaction simulations
* Contributing to the maintenance of the molecular dynamics software ESPResSo, 
its documentation, and the continuous integration tooling

Your qualification:
* A strong interest in scientific software development and simulations
* An MSc or PhD in physics, computer science, simulation technology or a 
related discipline
* Proven experience in C++, experience in Cuda and Python are an asset
* Proven experience in numerical work such as simulations
* The willingness to engage with an interdisciplinary user and developer 
community
* The ability to pursue complex projects both, in teams and independently

What we offer
* An exciting and friendly working environment
* Interesting and challenging development projects
* A well established CI/CD process including, e.g., automated testing and code 
review is in place
* Visibility of your work, as ESPResSo is an open-source project
* Frequent interactions with users of the software and the ability to foster 
your international network.
* Ample opportunities for skill development, including e.g., training by the 
Stuttgart High Performance Computing Center (HLRS)
* Excellent compute resources



To apply:
Please send your cover letter, CV and contacts for two references to 
application@icp.uni-stuttgart.de. If you have contributed to publicly hosted 
projects, please include links to your Github page or similar.



Diversity:
At the University of Stuttgart, we actively promote diversity among our 
employees. We have set ourselves the goal of recruiting more women scientists 
and employing more people with an international background, as well as people 
with disabilities. We are therefore particularly pleased to receive 
applications from such people. Regardless, we welcome any good application. 

Women who apply will be given preferential consideration in areas in which they 
are underrepresented, provided they have the same aptitude, qualifications and 
professional performance. Severely disabled applicants with equal 
qualifications will be given priority. 
As a certified family friendly university, we support the compatibility of work 
and family, and of professional and private life in general, through various 
flexible modules. We have an employee health
management system that has won several awards and offers our employees a wide 
range
of continuing education programs.
