SPH-EXA stands for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics for EXAscale, a Swiss interdisciplinary project (in its second 3-year funding round) developing a scalable and fault-tolerant SPH code for hydrodynamic simulations. The long-term and ambitious vision of SPH-EXA is to study fluid and solid mechanics in a wide range of research fields, starting with astrophysics and cosmology, in particular related to the SKA employing the latest and most innovative algorithms and parallelization techniques in high performance computing.

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope. The SKACH project represents the Swiss Consortium which participates in and contributes to the SKA Observatory. The SPH-EXA framework will be used in SKACH to carry out extremely large cosmological hydrodynamical simulations and to develop state-of-the-art numerical simulations to create mock SKA datasets.

**Your position**

an Exascale-grade simulation framework (SPH-EXA) for astrophysics, cosmology, and computational fluid dynamics, with specific tasks such as:

- Code development following the C++14 standard
- Code development and parallelization for shared memory, distributed memory, accelerator offloading, and task-based programming
- Knowledge/use of high-performance parallel I/O libraries and visualization tools
- Knowledge/use of state-of-the-art (hierarchical) dynamic load balancing techniques
- Implementation of fault-tolerance mechanisms
- Execute massively parallel numerical simulations (in astrophysics and cosmology, such as type Ia Supernovae and coevolution of galaxies and black holes)
- Performance testing and tuning of the developed code on shared and distributed memory systems
- Employ modern software development techniques and best practices, using a continuous integration system and containerization solutions
- Conduct research in programming models, performance modeling, optimization, scheduling, fault-tolerance, and reproducibility
- Contribute to the analysis of new state-of-the-art astrophysical and cosmological simulations
- Write research papers, articles, and present results at leading international conferences
- Write code documentation and train users via tools such as Jupyter notebooks
- Interact with national and international teams of computer scientists, astrophysicists, cosmologists, and high-performance computing specialists

**Your profile**
- A MSc or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar
- (Extensive) C/C++ knowledge with focus on performance
- (Very strong) Parallel programming skills (OpenMP, MPI, OpenACC, CUDA)
- Experience in any of the following is advantageous: containerization, CI, HIP, Intel oneAPI, OpenCL, HPX, Kokkos
- Fluent in English (oral and written)
- Team-work mindset
- Experience with research projects and writing reports is a plus
- A flexible person with the ability to work under pressure

**We offer you**
- 100% funding (starting immediately)
- Joining two exciting exascale projects with the ambition of impacting a wide range of scientific fields
- A dynamic, supportive, and diverse working environment
- Collaboration with leading computer scientists, cosmologists, astrophysicists, and HPC centers
