| HPC software engineer for scientific computing (2 years) | Closing date: 2019-09-16
Contact: Jeremy Leconte |
| The successful candidate will interact with researchers of the Whiplash team (Bordeaux Laboratory for Astrophysics) to develop and optimize several high performance, parallelized codes, as well as adapt them to various architectures | | ▸ more | Context
The WHIPLASH team is composed of six researchers and PhD students funded by the ERC. It's goal is to model and understand the behavior of planetary planets.
To that purpose, this team is developing several high performance, parallelized codes to, among other things, perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations of planetary climates, simulate observations of these planets, and to analyze real data from space telescopes (using in part machine learning/neural network techniques).
Job description
The successful candidate will interact with researchers to develop and optimize these codes, as well as adapt them to various architectures (HPC, hybrid gpu architectures). A good knowledge of numerical methods, programming and parallelization tools is therefore required.
The engineer will also oversee the maintenance, testing, and documentation of these codes, in particular by developing good practices and by helping researchers implementing them. Another goal will be to make the codes more robust and flexible in order to make them publicly available.
Skills :
Programming langage: Fortran, Python, GPU libraries
Operating System: Linux, OSX
Parallel computing libraries: MPI, mpi4py
Profiling and optimization tools for HPC
Knowledge of cluster environment and batch/scheduling systems
Versioning tool (GIT, GIT Lab)
Modeling and numerical simulation
Ability to work collaboratively in a team, autonomy
English : B1-B2 (European reference system), Team including non-french speaking people
Work environment:
The WHIPLASH team is part of the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Bordeaux (LAB; http://astrophy.u-bordeaux.fr). The LAB regroups more than 70 researchers, engineers, technicians, and administrators around the study of numerous astrophysical phenomena and is part of CNRS and Bordeaux University. Most researchers in the WHIPLASH team perform intensive numerical calculations. These computations are performed either on our local dedicated cluster of 320 cores, or on the mésocentre aquitain (MCIA) for more intensive calculations. The engineer will receive a travel grant to work with external collaborators and attend conferences. He/She is expected to start in the Fall of 2019.
