Job description

The SCC provides basic IT services for all KIT members for work in research and teaching, studies, and administration as well as federal services for universities in the state of Baden-Württemberg and for national and international projects.

The RG-FiNE group develops the high-performance sparse linear algebra framework Ginkgo, which is currently integrated into a variety of simulation frameworks such as MFEM, deal.II, and openCARP. We are partners in several large research projects such as the European MicroCARD project, the BMBF ExaSIM project aimed at accelerating OpenFOAM, and several projects under the US Exascale Computing Project.

The position is part of a large-scale project called WarmWorld with partners such as DKRZ, MPI-M and DWD to modernize the ICON code for climate research and numerical weather prediction (NWP). This project aims at scalable performance and code development for the next generation of supercomputers. The goals are to provide better scalability and performance portability so that ICON can run more efficiently on modern exascale computers, and to enable km-scale simulations. At the same time, the code will be modularized to take advantage of new technologies, enable scalable code development, and make it more accessible to scientists.

You will:

• have the opportunity to work with renowned experts in the field of numerical weather prediction and climate research;
• Be part of an agile and diverse team with expertise in modern, high-performance, and sustainable research software development;
• Explore and apply modern C++ software design practices to a complex project;
• Help enable portable climate simulations and numerical weather predictions on GPUs;
• Investigating interfaces between library components in different programming languages.
• Documentation of developed and implemented algorithms.

This position offers the possibility to acquire a PhD degree

Personal qualification

Job Requirements:

• University degree (Master), ideally in the field of computer science and high performance computing
• Knowledge of C++17 and modern HPC systems (i.e. simulations, parallel applications and capability computing) and of CUDA, HIP or Kokkos for programming parallel devices is mandatory
• Sustainable software development (Git, CI, CB, unit testing, etc.) is a big plus.
• A background in numerical weather prediction or climate simulations is desirable.
• Good language skills in English.

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

5 Scientists (f/m/d) in Computational and Data Science
KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science

Category

PhD students (f/m/d)

Job description

KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science (KCDS) is a graduate school at KIT Center MathSEE that offers an interdisciplinary training program for doctoral researchers in the field of model-driven and data-driven computational science.

Are you interested in bridging the gap between mathematical sciences on the one side and natural sciences, engineering and economics on the other side?

In this unique doctoral program, you will be able to conduct an interdisciplinary research project that revolves around computational methods such as mathematical models, simulation methods and data science techniques, all the while building bridges between mathematical sciences and an applied discipline.

Addressing global challenges, the school provides a wide variety of topics, from climate and weather modelling to machine learning techniques in cyber-physical systems such as autonomous cars (see the list of the doctoral projects on the KCDS graduate school website).

The doctoral projects include positions at the following KIT institutes:

• Institute of Vehicle System Technology (FAST) – Lightweight Design Division (LB)
• Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK-TRO)
• Institute of Water and River Basin Management (IWG)
• Institute of Information Security and Dependability (KASTEL)
• Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC)

You will have one supervisor from the mathematical sciences and one from the applied discipline. You will be part of a dynamic community and participate in the school’s interdisciplinary training program, including hands-on training in small groups, summer schools, networking events and hackathons/datathons.

Application process

Please hand in your application online including the following documents:

• Completed KCDS Scientific Profile form (see KCDS website)
• Motivational statement of max. 500 words
• CV
• All academic records including Master transcript of records, Bachelor certificate and transcript of records and High School Certificate. Please also include official English translation of Master and Bachelor transcripts. - If you have already received your Master certificate, you should also include it, but it's possible to hand it in later (by the start of your doctoral phase).

Find two independent referees, who should directly send the KCDS reference letter form (see KCDS website) to kcds@kit.edu using their corporate email accounts as proof of authenticity.

We invite everyone interested to a “KCDS Virtual Open House” on Thursday, March 30 from 10-12:00h CET (no prior registration necessary). Find the link to the virtual meeting on the KCDS website.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a (virtual) one-day selection event. See more information on the procedure on the KCDS website.

Personal qualification

• Master or an equivalent degree in mathematical sciences or a SEE discipline (natural sciences, engineering, economics) received no later than the starting date of your doctoral studies
• We expect good writing and oral communication skills in English.
