chemistry at the University of Ulm, Germany
Kommunikations- und Informationszentrum kiz / Nachwuchsgruppe Theorie
innerhalb des SFB 569
Applications are invited for a position in the field of grid computing
applied to theoretical chemistry, starting as soon as possible after the
application deadline, for a duration of 2 years.
The work will involve the development of a theoretical chemistry web portal
to facilitate the deployment of grid-based quantum chemical calculations on
the bwGRID infrastructure (see also http://www.bw-grid.de). This position is
part of a large initiative in grid computing for southern Germany. The
project will be co-supervised by Mr. Christian Mosch (Kommunikations- und
Informationszentrum) and Dr David M. Benoit (Nachwuchsgruppe Theorie
innerhalb des SFB 569).
The successful candidate must have a Master's degree or better (e.g. PhD) in
theoretical chemistry or physics and a knowledge of physical chemistry and
molecular science. He/she must have a solid practical knowledge of quantum
chemistry programs and web-oriented development. Knowledge of Java
programming would be an advantage. A good level of spoken and written German
and English is mandatory.
The project will be for a maximum of two years. The salary is set in
accordance with the German public-service pay scale (E13 TV-L).
