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

[Jed Brown]

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.

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 at colorado.edu and
