Development of TDDFT methods in CP2K [ posted: 2015-06-08, status: open]

A one-year postdoctoral position is available at the University of Lincoln for a project with Dr. Matt Watkins on extensions to the existing TDDFT functionality in CP2K. Funding is from the ARCHER eCSE programme, and is primarily aimed at software development. Support and collaboration with Iain Bethune (EPCC, Edinburgh) is expected.

Further details and the application form can be found at https://jobs.lincoln.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=COS184A.

Linear scaling electronic structure methods [ posted: 2014-04-17, status: closed ]

Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately for a joint project on linear scaling electronic structure methods between the University of Zurich (Prof. Juerg Hutter, Department of Chemistry) and ETH Zurich (Prof. Joost VandeVondele, Department of Materials), funded by the Swiss Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing ( PASC ).

Within the project an open-source library for sparse matrix multiplication ( DBCSR ) [3] will be further developed. Functionality implemented in the DBCSR library will be used to improve performance and scalability of the linear scaling DFT code within the CP2K program package. The same numerical algorithms will also be applied for reduced scaling methods for wavefunction based correlation schemes (RPA, MP2), see e.g. [1,2] for an overview.

The positions are initially for one year, but funding is available for planned extensions.

The candidate will need excellent knowledge in development of computational algorithms with experience in parallel computing or software engineering and a basic background in physics or chemistry. He/she must be willing to engage with the community and drive the project towards a public release. Experience with large software projects or electronic structure methods is an advantage.

Please apply to Juerg Hutter (hutter@chem.uzh.ch) and Joost VandeVondele (Joost.VandeVondele@mat.ethz.ch), including a CV, a brief summary of your competence or achievements in the field, and a list of two references.

The position remains open till suitable candidates have been found.
