.Organisation/Company: Universitat de les Illes Balears Research Field: Astronomy » Astrophysics Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2) Positions: PhD Positions Country: Spain Application Deadline: 22 Nov 2024 - 23:55 (Europe/Madrid) Type of Contract: Temporary Job Status: Full-time Hours Per Week: 37.5 Offer Starting Date: 13 Jan 2025 Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Reference Number: 2024-2025_3_215 Offer Description For this call, we are seeking a highly motivated and talented scientific software developer to play an active role in computational research activities at the Institute of Applied Computing & Community Code (IAC3, ) on the HiTech-IAC3-BIO Platform. The successful candidate will support our research in gravitational wave data analysis and numerical relativity and, in particular, help us bolster our involvement in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Einstein Telescope and the LISA Consortium. Key tasks/responsibilities: Support the development and maintenance of software packages used to generate waveform models, and used for statistical inference on the properties of observed gravitational-wave sources. Work towards ensuring that the computational performance of the software meets IAC3 scientists' needs. Ensure that the software developed is well documented to facilitate ease of use by new members and external collaborators. Consult and train scientists in the use of software, as needed. Support research and publications produced by scientists in the group. Engage in visualisation of results. The Institute of Applied Computing and Community Code (IAC3, ) was created by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) in 2008 to foster synergies between different UIB research groups, driven by a quest for excellence and their common focus on computational modelling, as well as a modern approach to code sharing and development. Since its creation, IAC3 has grown to encompass more than 60 full-time staff from seven research groups in the physics and mathematics departments at the UIB. Research in the gravitational physics group at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) spans a wide range of topics, including gravitational wave data analysis, waveform modelling and numerical relativity. Computing is carried out using an in-house high-performance computer cluster, and external resources such as the Mare Nostrum supercomputer or the LIGO data grid. The group comprises PIs Alicia Sintes and Sascha Husa and faculty members David Keitel, Xisco Jiménez-Forteza, Antoni Ramos and Jaume Carot, as well as several post-doctoral researchers and PhD students. The group is involved in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the LISA Consortium and the Einstein
