[ES_JOBS_NET] Computational Geoscientist at the University of Lausanne

[Tom Georges Beucler]

Dear es-jobs team,



I hope this email finds you well.



Would it be possible to add the job post below to the es-jobs announcements?



**********************************************


*Computational Geoscientist at the University of Lausanne*



The Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (IDYST) and the Institute of Earth
Sciences (ISTE) are hiring a computational geoscientist to develop,
maintain, and improve their research codes. From geodynamics to climate
change science via glaciology, our institutes cover a wide range of Earth
system applications, most of which rely on numerically solving large
systems of differential equations, statistical methods, or both. This
position comes in support of the computational aspects of these projects,
including code optimization, the implementation of best practices, and the
efficient use of our supercomputing facilities. This is a research position
where we expect an intellectual contribution to our projects aimed at
solving the geoscientific, environmental, and climatic challenges of our
time.

*before October 1st, 2022*.



*Job information*

Expected start date: January 1st , 2023

Contract length: Permanent (subject to probation)

Activity rate: 100%

Workplace: Lausanne Mouline (Geopolis building), Switzerland



*Your responsibilities*

- Support for optimizing codes (including parallelization), specific for
Earth/environmental applications, and for specific hardware (e.g. GPU,
FPGA). Optimizing code performances contributes to UNIL’s sustainability
goals.

- Implementation of high-performance and parallel computing related to the
numerical solution of systems of PDEs (typically in collaboration with
researchers).

- Support for the design of models based on machine learning for
geoscientific applications (prediction algorithms, numerical schemes, etc.).

- Support for best practices in the programming, implementation,
distribution, and documentation of code

- Publication of scientific research in collaboration with other
researchers of the Faculty of Geosciences and Environment.

- Collaboration with and initiation of scientific research projects.



*Your qualifications*

- Masters or PhD degree in computer science, applied mathematics, or other
disciplines involving computational research, such as computational
geosciences, or equivalent.

- Proven record of expertise in programming high-performance algorithms for
scientific computing (including parallel computing, machine learning, and
numerical methods for physics-based differential equations systems).
Familiarity with pertinent computational problems in the Earth,
environmental,  or engineering sciences, or a strong interest to engage
with such topics.

- Experience in multiple programming languages (e.g., Python, R, Fortran,
C, C++, CUDA, Julia, Matlab) and computing platforms (CPU, GPU, FPGA).

- Ability to collaborate with multiple groups and to create bridges across
topics and disciplines. Ability to manage complex tasks autonomously.

- Excellent skills in written and spoken English.



*What the position offers you*

We offer a nice working place in a multicultural, diverse, and dynamic
academic environment. Opportunities for professional training, a lot of
activities, and other benefits to discover.
