Two positions (RSE and Postdoc) at CU Boulder: Extreme-scale simulation of composite inelastic media

Although these two jobs are not in geodynamics, I’m sharing here because computational geodynamicists are likely to be as familiar as anyone with many of the concepts and methods in this project. Please reach out if you have questions.

We have two openings with similar descriptions. For the Research
Software Engineer (funded for 5-years, renewable):

CU Boulder’s PSAAP Multidisciplinary Simulation Center has an opening
for a Research Software Engineer to co-lead development of robust,
extensible open source software for extreme-scale simulation of
large-deformation composite poro-elasto-visco-plastic media across a
broad range of regimes with experimental validation and coordination
with micromorphic multiscale models.

Successful applicants will have strong written and verbal communication
skills, experience in some of the following topics, and interest in
learning the others:

  • collaborative software development and devops (Git, continuous integration, etc.)
  • maintainable, high-performance programming techniques for CPUs and GPUs
  • finite element and material-point discretizations
  • computational mechanics/inelasticity
  • parallel algebraic solvers such as PETSc
  • scalable data-intensive computing

For the Postdoc:

CU Boulder’s PSAAP Multidisciplinary Simulation Center has an opening
for a Postdoctoral Associate to develop algorithms for extreme-scale
simulation of large-deformation composite poro-elasto-visco-plastic
media across a broad range of regimes, validation and rapid calibration
using experimental data, and micromorphic multiscale models with
uncertainty quantification.

Successful applicants will have strong written and verbal communication
skills, experience in some of the following topics, and interest in
learning the others:

  • collaborative software development and devops (Git, continuous integration, etc.)
  • maintainable, high-performance programming techniques for CPUs and GPUs
  • finite element and material-point discretizations
  • computational mechanics/inelasticity
  • multiscale modeling techniques
  • parallel algebraic solvers such as PETSc
  • scalable data-intensive computing and uncertainty quantification

Both positions can start as soon as July 1 and are remote-friendly,
especially during the pandemic. US citizenship or permanent residency
is preferred. Minimum requirement: non-sensitive country foreign
national.

To apply to either position, please send a CV, cover letter, and contact
information for three references to jed.brown@colorado.edu and
richard.regueiro@colorado.edu.
