Title Postdoctoral position in lattice field theory that will investigate enhancement of multigrid algorithms for staggered quarks
Appointment Status Non-Tenure Track
Department IU Bloomington Physics
Position Summary
The Physics Department at Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for two postdoctoral positions in lattice field theory.
One position is focused on performance analysis and optimization of the
MILC code for configuration generation
(with possible extensions to support GPUs with QUDA or Grid).
This position will help in the design of the next generation of highest
performance computer for the National Science Foundation.
The second position will investigate enhancement of multigrid algorithms
for staggered quarks. It will involve collaboration with applied mathematicians
as well as lattice field theorists at Boston University and the University of
Utah. Both positions will allow the successful applicant to interact
with members of the Fermilab Lattice and MILC Collaborations.
The positions may start on October 1, 2023, or earlier and the applicant
should indicate how soon it would be possible to start.
Review of applications will begin December 15, 2022 and continue until the
positions are filled.
Basic Qualifications
A Ph.D. in theoretical physics with work in lattice field theory
is required by the time the position is started.
Department Contact for Questions
Informal inquiries may be made to Prof. Steven Gottlieb (sg@indiana.edu).
Additional Qualifications
Salary and Rank
Special Instructions
Applications should include a cover letter and CV and should detail the
applicant’s familiarity and experience with the following lattice QCD codes:
MILC, QUDA, and Grid. Any experience with performance analysis tools and
production running on supercomputers should also be described.
Three letters of recommendation will be required.
Contact information for three individuals who can provide the letters should be submitted through the application portal located at https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/13952 for the position focusing on performance analysis and https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/13988 for the position that will investigate enhancement of multigrid algorithms
for staggered quarks. Applicants are welcome to apply for either or both positions. Informal inquiries may be made to Prof. Steven Gottlieb (sg@indiana.edu).
