Dear all, please share the following information with possible candidates, and to colleagues that may know of possible candidates. Thanks! Luca. Numerical Analysis Group @ University of Pisa Start Date: March 1st Application Deadline: January 24th Application Portal: <https://bandi.unipi.it/public/Bandi/Detail/150eaadb-8fec-4fc5-acb6-593dc7a29259> The University of Pisa invites applications for a short-term Research Associate position within the dealii-X project. This role, based in the Department of Mathematics, will concentrate on Numerical Analysis and the creation of advanced numerical tools for high-performance simulations using the deal.II library. The dealii-X project aims to create an Exascale Framework for Digital Twins of the Human Body. This initiative seeks to enhance personalized medicine through sophisticated computational models, enabling scalable and detailed simulations of human organs. We are looking for dynamic individuals with a strong scientific CV relevant to numerical analysis and simulations (a Master degree in a scientific subject is mandatory, a PhD is a plus). The successful candidate will work on the development and optimization of numerical tools for high-performance simulations in the deal.II library, focusing on meshing techniques, advanced coupling methods, non-matching techniques, reduced order methods, and large scale preconditioning techniques. The role will involve a tight collaboration with other international teams and team members, contributing to the development of the deal.II library. Key information: - Research Focus: Development and optimization of numerical tools for high-performance simulations in the deal.II library - Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa - Numerical Analysis and High Performance Scientific Computing - Contract Duration: 24 months - Gross Annual Salary: €32,427.96 - Application Deadline: 24th January 2025 - Starting Date: 1st March 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter
