Your Tasks
- Implement novel mixed-precision numerical algorithms for solving electronic-structure problems based on density-functional theory and density-functional perturbation theory in the DFTK.jl and SIRIUS libraries, in conjunction with the Quantum ESPRESSO package.
- Develop, integrate, and disseminate computational capabilities required to understand, predict, and characterize complex materials as studied at PSI research facilities to the PSI community and the broader scientific community.
- Provide support and access to these computational capabilities for the PSI science and user program.
Your Profile
- PhD degree in computational condensed-matter physics or an equivalent field.
- Experience in the development, implementation, and application of atomistic simulation methods.
- Proficient programming skills in C++, Fortran, Julia, and Python.
- Proven experience with parallel computing using high-performance computers (HPCs).
- Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
- Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.
- Prior experience with density functional theory is desirable.
