Open Position in Computing and Modelling Attosecond Time Scale Processes

A two-year pre-doctoral position is available under the supervision of Dr. Alicia Palacios at CampuS theoretical group (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid). The position is co-funded by the ESF[[i]] under the 2017 call for the recruitment of pre-doctoral researchers of the Madrid region (more details here). We expect candidates to incorporate no later than May 1, 2018.

The successful applicant will participate in the development of an open project that aims to study ultrafast processes in molecules and, eventually, more complex systems (surfaces). The project involves simulations using high performance computing (HPC) implemented in large-scale scientific facilities.

CampuS theoretical group focus on the study of the dynamics in isolated quantum systems (from the smallest to medium-sized molecules, and periodic systems). The group is pioneer on developing state-of-the-art theoretical tools to describe chemical properties and predict the behavior of quantum systems under the influence of a variety of laser radiation sources.

We seek for a pre-doctoral researcher with either of the following profiles, besides the set of restrictions imposed by the funders (see below):

(i) a good background in Quantum Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, programming skills and commitment to teamwork, who wish to work in a project within the main research lines of our group: laser-matter interaction or surfaces.

(ii) a strong background in Computational Sciences. A significant part of our research project involves software development and designing new strategies to improve the performance of existing parallel codes, implemented using the Message Passage Interface (MPI) environment.

If interested, please, check the eligibility criteria and application procedure at https://campusys.qui.uam.es/?cat=7. Deadline to apply is April 17th, but we highly recommend not to wait until the last day, since additional documents, references or explanations may be requested during the selection process.

 

[i] This call is co-financed by the European Social Fund through the Youth Employment Operational Program for the 2014-2020 programming period, as well as the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI).
