Field of Interest:Physics, Physics-other
Deadline: 2017-05-04
Region: Europe
Job description:
This postdoctoral position is funded by the grant R-matrix suites for multielectron attosecond dynamics in atoms and molecules irradiated by arbitrarily polarised light (R-MADAM) supported by EPSRC as part of their Software as an Infrastructure strategy under a Software Flagship Project Call. This is a 2-year project involving The Open University and Queen’s University Belfast with collaborators from University College London, Max Born Institute for Non-linear Optics, Quantemol Ltd. and the Scientific Computing Department at STFC.
The main objective of the project is the development of software for the accurate description of atoms and molecular systems in intense, ultra-short light fields with arbitrary polarisation. This involves generalising and interfacing two world-leading suites of codes: the R-matrix with time-dependence codes (RMT) for ultra-fast atomic dynamics and the UKRmol+ suite for electron/positron scattering and photoionisation processes in molecules.
Education, Qualifications and Training:
Good first degree in physics, chemistry, maths, or a related subject. Be in possession of a PhD in physics, computational chemistry or a related subject at the time of taking up the position
Knowledge, Work and Other Relevant Experience
*Experience of applying techniques of high performance computing to problems in physics/chemistry *Excellent knowledge of Fortran 95 *Experience of developing large scale computer programs, especially those involving parallelism *Good numerical analysis skills. *Experience of working using a Unix-based operating system.
The project involves close collaboration between researchers at The Open University and Queen's University Belfast working under the same grant. It is expected that both PDRAs employed by the grant will travel with some regularity between Belfast and Milton Keynes to discuss and plan code development.
If you would like to discuss the particulars of this role before making an application please contact Jimena Gorfinkiel on 01908 858205 or email: Jimena.Gorfinkiel@open.ac.uk If you have any questions regarding the application process please contact Michelle Gallacher on 01908 653485 or email: STEM-Recruitment@open.ac.uk
