We seek a scientist and software architect who will be in lead of the development and implementation of a next-generation particle-based reaction-diffusion software. We are looking for a creative and independent mind with scientific aspirations, inert motivation and outstanding work ethics. The candidate will be embedded in a highly motivated and innovative team of computational physicists, engineers, chemists and mathematicians. We are closely collaborating with experimental partners in Berlin and outside, so open-mindedness and good communication skills are required.
The person sought must have a desire to make an important scientific contribution, write and contribute to papers, and at the same time be willing to serve the community by providing and maintaining a reliable and useful software product. The ideal applicant holds a PhD in a quantitative science (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Engineering), and will understand the statistical physics and numerical algorithms in depth. He or she has proven experience in developing large-scale software projects (> 10.000 lines of code), and is versatile with both scripted and higher programming languages (python, C++, Java) as well as professional development tools (git, IDE’s, etc). Having developed a molecular dynamics code and having experience with high-performance computing (including massive parallelization, CUDA, OpenCL/OpenACC) are optimal starting points for the project.
We cannot offer industry-level salaries but can offer a creative academic environment with excellent career development perspectives and opportunities for reaching scientific independence. The position is initially for two years, but funding is available for four years. When successful, the position can be extended.
