Job Posting: Student Assistant (Part-Time) in High-Performance Computing Software Development
Mechanics of Soft and Biological Matter Laboratory (MESOBIO) is seeking a MS/BS student assistant to work on high-performance computing of in-house codes for soft and biological materials. The primary task for this position will involve enhancing the computational efficiency of our current in-house codes. This will include tasks such as: (1) transferring existing codes from MATLAB to low-level programing languages such as C++ or Fortran, (2) optimizing the architecture of the simulation codes, (3) incorporating GPU computing or parallel computing techniques. We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic student with the following skill sets:
- Proficiency in low-level program languages, especially C, C++, and/or Fortran.
- Basic understanding on numerical methods for scientific computing.
- Previous experiences on GPU computing and/or parallel computing.
- Good communication skill in both verbal and written forms
- Proficiency of meticulous planning and timely execution
- Prior experience in many-body system modeling (e.g. MD simulation) is plus, but not required.
We offer opportunities to engage in multidisciplinary research projects within the group, providing access to EPFL high performance computing facilities. The duration of the contract and the work schedule will be flexible tailored on the candidate’s circumstances, with salary determined by EPFL rules and working hours.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply directly to Professor Sangwoo Kim ([email protected]), the head of MESOBIO group. Please submit a CV detailing your experience and qualifications related to the requirements stated above. Applications will be reviewed upon until the position is filled.
