Sweden: Postdoctoral Position in High Performance Computing ...

Position Description: KTH School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC) announces a postdoctoral position in Scientific Computing. KTH Computer Science and Communication is one of the most outstanding research and teaching environments in Information Technology in Sweden with activities at KTH and partly at Stockholm University. We conduct education and research in theoretical computer science, from theory building and analysis of mathematical models to algorithm construction, implementation and simulation.

The applied computer science research and education dealing with computer vision, robotics, machine learning, computational biology, neuroinformatics and neural networks, including high performance computing, visualization and speech and music communication. It also conducts applied research and training in media technology, human-computer interaction, interaction design and sustainable development.

The department for High Performance Computing and Visualization (HPCViz) was formed in 2012 to address current and emerging challenges for efficient use of large-scale computational resources, efficient and varied manipulations of massive data sets, and method and model development taking advantage of the new possibilities offered by modern computational infrastructure and the access to large data sets. The Computational Technology Laboratory (CTL) at HPCViz now opens a postdoctoral position in the area of scientific computing.

CTL research is focused on computational mathematical modeling with differential equations, and the development, analysis and implementation of general, reliable and efficient methods for the computer simulation of complex systems of high scientific and industrial importance. The core technology is adaptive finite element methods for turbulent fluid flow and multiphysics, implemented in the open source software project FEniCS. Uncertainty quantification, data assimilation and inverse problems are also areas of high interest.

Current application projects include aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of vehicles and airplanes, ocean and atmosphere modeling, and biomedical modeling of the human heart and the human voice.
The goal of the candidate is to add new expertise to the group, and to work in one or more projects.

Qualifications:

Candidates should have (or soon receive) a Ph.D. in an area related to the research focus of CTL (applied mathematics, computer science, numerical analysis, scientific computing, or similar), and demonstrate exceptional research accomplishments (or promise). Solid knowledge and experience of numerical methods for the solution of partial differential equations is a requirement, as well as good programming skills.

How to Apply:

Application shall include the following documents:
1. Curriculum vitae
2. Transcripts from university/university college
3. Brief description of why the applicant is interested in the position.
4. Names and contact information of two references.
Please observe that all material needs to be in English, apart from the official document.

Applications via email are to be sent to: Susanne Bergman, e-mail?jobs@csc.kth.se .
Write reference number in the email subject. (CV, etc should be sent as an attachment, as pdf-files.)

We also accept hard copy applications sent to:
