Scientific Researcher (f/m/d) Uncertainty quantification in multiscale materials modelling
- PhD Position / 75% part-time -
Category
Job description
The Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) is a central scientific institution of KIT in connection with tasks in research, teaching, and innovation and performs overarching services within KIT and for external parties.
This research topic deals with uncertainty quantification of multiscale materials modeling methods. Particularly, the coupling of atomistic molecular dynamics with continuum modeling and density functional theory with coarse-grained kinetic Monte Carlo will be investigated in the cases of the following two applications. In the first application “Friction at solid--liquid interfaces”, where molecular dynamics is coupled to a continuum solver, methods for local and global sensitivity analysis have to be developed to determine and discriminate the errors caused by the molecular dynamics simulations. In the second application “Single-site catalysis in porous materials”, the propagation of various kinds of uncertainties from density functional theory calculations through coupled kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations will be investigated using global sensitivity analysis.
This position offers the possibility to acquire a PhD degree. This thesis will be carried out in the framework of the interdisciplinary Research Training Group 2450 “Tailored Scale-Bridging Approaches to Computational Nanoscience” in close collaboration with partner PhD students within the training group.
This position offers the possibility to acquire a PhD degree.
Personal qualification
You have a master's degree in mathematics or a compatible STEM subject. Knowledge or experience in at least one of these methodological fields will be an advantage for the candidate: mathematical modeling, machine learning / statistical modeling, and uncertainty quantification.
The SCC offers you an exciting and varied job within an agile team as well as a wide range of training opportunities and flexible and family-friendly working time models. For more information about SCC as your new work home, please visit https://www.scc.kit.edu/en/aboutus/working-at-scc.php

Job description
In order to network Helmholtz data centers, Big Data storage, high-performance computing clusters and IT infrastructures with the services required for research, the Helmholtz Association has created the Helmholtz Federated ICT Services (HIFIS) platform. The Helmholtz Cloud, built as part of this platform, provides federated services from the Helmholtz centers to all centers and their partners as a large-scale science cloud.
As a member of the Helmholtz Association, KIT, through the SCC as the Center for Information Technology (IT) at KIT, has been heavily involved in the further developments of the HIFIS platform from the very beginning. Accordingly, the SCC is also represented with its own services in the Helmholtz Cloud (www.helmholtz.cloud).
They will work in the HIFIS focal topic Cloud Services and contribute responsibly to the further development of the Helmholtz Cloud. For sustainable operation, the topics of service management and IT/cyber security in particular must be adequately addressed.
Your main tasks:
- In collaboration, among others with colleagues from Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, you will work on the scientific development and implementation of concepts and strategies to align operational aspects for service management and IT/cyber security on the side of the service providers and the provided services, with the requirements for the management of the Helmholtz Cloud.
- At the SCC, you will contribute to the further development of the SCC cloud platform OpenStack, considering the above-mentioned topics, in order to integrate it into the Helmholtz Cloud as a further KIT service.
Personal qualification
You have:
- A degree in computer science or a university degree in the natural sciences (at least master's level).
- Good knowledge in the operation of Linux systems, in the use of tools for automated system/configuration management (e.g. Git and Ansible), as well as in various programming and scripting languages (e.g. Java, Python, PHP) is an advantage.
