Vacancy Scientific Software Engineer
Avant-garde Materials Simulation Deutschland GmbH (AMS), a small company based in Freiburg specialising in scientific software for the organic solid state, is looking for a scientific software engineer. AMS is the world’s leading company in the area of crystal structure prediction of molecular compounds and intends to extend its crystal structure prediction methodology to other areas of molecular modelling. AMS’ main drive is the development of new algorithms.
The successful candidate has a PhD or equivalent in numerical informatics, applied mathematics or theoretical physics. He/she has excellent knowledge of C++ and Linux, has experience with professional software development and High-Performance Computing and has implemented complex scientific algorithms where numerical accuracy and computational speed were essential. The candidate quickly adapts to new tasks, is able to quickly grasp their colleagues’ train of thought, fits in seemlessly in a small team of competent scientists and speaks German and English, of which at least one fluently. Previous programming experience on one of the topics force field development, density functional calculations or global optimisation algorithms is desirable, but not a prerequisite.
Applicants and informal enquiries should be sent to jobs@avmatsim.eu Applications should consist of a CV, a letter of motivation and, if applicable, three of the applicant’s own scientific publications which either reflect the candidate’s domain of competence or which are connected to AMS’ field of research. Closing date for applications is the 15th of August 2010.
