Position Responsibilities
| Key Accountability |
Perform Simulations |
| Job Duties |
- Perform state-of-the-art simulations of important astrophysical/multi-messenger phenomena.
- Analyze and visualize simulation data.
|
| Key Accountability |
Collaborative Projects |
| Job Duties |
- Work with multi-institution networks of collaborators on next-generation numerical relativity projects such as:
- BlackHoles@Home (https://blackholesathome.net ), which is a proposed, BOINC-based volunteer-computing / public-outreach project called aimed at unlocking the consumer-grade desktop computer as a core tool for numerical relativity simulations of black holes and black hole binaries. Our goal is to generate more than 10,000 NR-based waveform predictions per year, validating all existing waveform catalogs and greatly exploring the parameter space.
- NRPy+-enhanced Einstein Toolkit, which involves advancing NRPy+-based code generation within the Einstein Toolkit framework, lowering the barrier to entry for new users.
- IllinoisGRMHD (https://illinoisgrmhd.net ): Supercomputer simulations of magnetized binary neutron star mergers with IllinoisGRMHD (https://illinoisgrmhd.net ), coupling dynamical spacetimes, GRMHD, tabulated equations of state, and neutrino physics.
- ChaNGa/NRPy+: Advancing the state-of-the-art in supercomputer simulations of binary neutron star mergers, through the marriage of the ChaNGa SPH code (for GRHD/GRMHD) and the NRPy+-based BlackHoles@Home infrastructure (for the spacetime).
- NRPyElliptic: A fast new hyperbolic relaxation elliptic solver for generating initial data for numerical relativity.
|
| Key Accountability |
Presentation of Results |
| Job Duties |
- Write scientific papers summarizing work and present work at scientific conferences.
|
| Required Experience |
- Strong computer programming skills (C and Python, or closely related languages)
- Proficient in C, Python, or a related language
- Excellent communication skills
|
| Required Education |
- PhD or equivalent in Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy, Computer Science, or a related field.
|
| Required Licensures, Certifications or other |
|
| Additional Preferred |
- Demonstrated proficiency in:
- Numerical relativity
- Computational hydrodynamics or magnetohydrodynamics
- Gravitational wave source modeling
- Code development within the Einstein Toolkit/IllinoisGRMHD/NRPy+ frameworks
- Experience in high-performance computing and large-scale data analysis.
- Excellent ability to communicate research to both experts and non-experts.
