PhD Position in Computing in Brazil

Description

This call looks for researchers interested in working on the parallelization of Molecular Dynamics problems on High-Performance CPU-GPU Clusters. Accurate theoretical Collision Cross Section (CCS) calculations for large biomolecules such as proteins and protein aggregates are highly computationally demanding. Scientists at CCES have recently created a new and very efficient code for CCS (HPCCS) using HPC technology.

Benefits

The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP Postdoctoral Scholarship of R$ 7.373,10 per month (tax-free) and a Research Support Fund equivalent to 15% of the annual scholarship amount to meet unforeseen expenses directly related to the research activity. A health plan is available from UNICAMP’s School of Medicine. Remote work is allowed until the end of the pandemic.

Requirements

This position is open to candidates from any nationality. The ideal candidate for this position should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanics, Physics or Chemistry, a good background in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Parallel Programming, and strong programming skills in OpenMP, PThreads, or MPI. Knowledge of Computational Chemistry and Molecular Dynamics will be considered a plus.
