There are open PhD Positions in High Performance Scientific Computing, at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC BarcelonaTech) and the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), financed by the projects:

ExaQUte - Exascale Quantification of Uncertainties for Technology and Science Simulation
Sofast - A Stochastic Optimization Framework for Aircraft STructural design

ExaQUte is a FET-HPC H2020 3-year project (2018-2021) with the objective to develop new computational methods and software tools to target Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) and Optimization Under Uncertainties (OUU) for multiphysics and multiscale problems on geometrically complex domains. Sofast is a Spanish project (2019-2021) to develop a computational framework for the design of aircraft structures through the application of multi-objective and robust topology optimization algorithms.

Candidates should hold a degree in mathematics, engineering, computer science, or physics, and an excellent academic record. Experience in computational fluid dynamics, finite element modeling, UQ, optimization, and/or object-oriented and parallel programming will be an asset. Applications will be considered till the positions will be filled, so it is advised to send them as soon as possible. Please send your application (with academic record) to

lssc@cimne.upc.edu
