(posted 2024/03/23, listed until 2024/09/22)We are particularly interested in candidates whose research brings together high-performance scientific computing, applied mathematics and statistics to craft new generations of tensor network algorithms to solve high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs). The postdoctoral scholar will work primarily with Prof. Daniele Venturi (https://venturi.soe.ucsc.edu/home) to design, implement, and analyze high-performance algorithms for tensor network computations. The position is part of a project team recently awarded a highly competitive Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant. The team involves UC Santa Cruz, Stanford University, University of Delaware, Michigan State University, University of Washington Seattle, and University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. The postdoctoral scholar will be assigned the following responsibilities:
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the forefront of our path to excellence in Baskin Engineering. UC Santa Cruz is a Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) with a high proportion of first-in-family students. UC Santa Cruz is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU, an association of the top research universities in the US), a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), a member of the Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Research Universities (HRSU), a member of the Computing Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions (CAHSI), an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), and a member of several identity and ethnic affinity professional societies. We encourage applications from candidates who align with our Principles of Community (https://www.ucsc.edu/principles-community/). BASIC QUALIFICATIONS (required at time of application): Ph.D. (or equivalent foreign degree) in a STEM field (e.g., mathematics, physics, computer science, or engineering). Programming skills in Python, C/C++, Fortran, or Matlab. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Prior experience with tensor computations, strong background in numerical linear algebra and numerical analysis, experience with high-performance parallel computing. SALARY RANGE: The posted UCSC salary scales set the minimum pay based on the individual’s Experience Level, which is determined by the number of months of postdoctoral service at any institution (https://apo.ucsc.edu/docs/scales-crnt.pdf). See the salary scale titled, Postdoctoral Scholar-Employee /Postdoctoral Scholar-Fellow / Postdoctoral Scholar-Paid Direct -Fiscal Year. The postdoctoral scholar position will start at a minimum yearly salary of $72,000 (Fiscal Year). Starting salary may be higher than $72,000 based on experience and/or qualifications. PERCENT TIME: Full-time (100%) STARTING DATE: As soon as possible after initial review of the applications (May 1, 2023). Ph.D. must be in hand at time of the initial appointment. POSITION DURATION: Postdoctoral Scholar appointments are full-time and the initial appointment is for a minimum of two years, with the possibility of reappointment. The total duration of an individual’s postdoctoral service may not exceed five years, including postdoctoral service at any institution. REQUIRED DOCUMENTS:
