Dear colleagues, We are looking for a Research Associate (postdoc) to join the Firedrake core development team at Imperial. The Firedrake project brings a radical new approach to simulation software development. Instead of painstakingly hand-coding highly sophisticated algorithms one PhD at a time, Firedrake models the simulation creation process as a sequence of mathematical abstractions and develops specialised compilers to automatically translate from one to the next, thereby automatically generating high performance parallel code from a high-level specification of the original mathematical problem.
This position represents the opportunity for a computational scientist to create new abstractions and implementations resulting in new simulation capability with immediate impact over a diverse user base. The successful candidate will play an important role in the heart of the Firedrake project while enjoying considerable freedom to develop their own programme of computational science research based around the further development of Firedrake. For further details, see http://www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/description/NAT00209/research-associate-code-generation-finite-element-simulation Closing date is the 29th July 2018. For informal enquiries, please contact David Ham <[email protected]>. Cheers, Lawrence Mitchell
