[xcrysden] Software development position in IOM-CNR, Trieste

[Tone Kokalj]

A post-doctoral position in the field of electronic-structure software
development is available at IOM-CNR, Trieste, Italy. 

The position, funded by the MaX - Materials at the exascale EU
Horizon2020 Centre of Excellence, is for one year, renewable for
another year. Requirements include a PhD in a scientific discipline and
research experience in computer simulations and/or in scientific
software programming. Experience with density-functional theory (DFT)
calculations, especially with the plane wave-pseudopotential method, is
a plus.

The successful candidate will work on the Quantum ESPRESSO software
distribution in one or more of the following topics, depending upon
his/her skill set:
- development of new methods and algorithms for advanced DFT
functionals;
- refactoring and modularisation of the code basis, notably for first-
principle molecular dynamics, linear response, computational
spectroscopy;
- porting of Quantum ESPRESSO  new heterogeneous accelerated
architectures (e.g.,  GPUs);
- improvement of Quantum ESPRESSO user experience, users’ and
developers’ documentation, testing.

The work requires coordination and interactions with the Quantum
ESPRESSO users' and developers' community and with the MaX EU Centre of
Excellence.
