The aim of the team is to develop and optimise advanced scientific applications for the next generation of supercomputers. They will help domain specialists in the development of high-performance codes. These range from helping develop internationally important simulation codes to producing new approaches to science problems using Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence.

Candidates are expected to have:

• A degree in a computational science, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Experience writing and maintaining high-performance application code.
• Experience in the key languages commonly used in scientific computing such as C, C++ (preferred), Fortran or Python.
• Experience with at least one of the frameworks used to exploit large, modern parallel computers such as MPI, OpenMP or CUDA.
• Some high-level knowledge of the hardware that forms a modern supercomputer (i.e. CPUs, XPUs and low-latency interconnects).
• Experience of working in the Linux software environment will be advantageous.
• Proven ability to work effectively within a team and individually.
• Experience of working in a scientific environment and/or providing support to researchers will be advantageous.
