Position Description

Postdoc and PhD positions in Numerical Linear Algebra and HPC

Postdoctoral and PhD positions are available within the framework of the ERC project "Analyzing and Exploiting Inexactness in Exascale Matrix Computations", led by Dr. Erin Carson at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University. Applications are invited from candidates who have strong background in numerical linear algebra, numerical analysis, parallel computing, or computational/data science application domains. The anticipated start date for PhD students is October 2025; for postdoctoral researchers, the start date is flexible.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Development and analysis of mixed precision numerical linear algebra algorithms
• Parallel algorithms and implementations for new mixed precision algorithms
• Numerical linear algebra applied to data analysis and machine learning applications
• Stability and convergence analysis of asynchronous methods
• Application of new algorithms and approaches within a particular computational or data science discipline
