The Australian Computational Earth Systems Simulator (ACcESS) is a new Major National Research Facility that is developing computational software for simulating the dynamics of the solid earth, and establishing a thematic parallel supercomputer with TFlops performance.
We are
seeking three or more highly motivated candidates for the position of a
Software Engineer to work together with the team developing the ACcESS software
system. The successful candidates will be assigned to software projects that
will address grand challenge scientific and computational problems in global to
micro-scale earth dynamics. These range from mantle convection and plate-mantle
dynamics, to earthquake physics and complexity, to mineralisation processes, to
rock micro-mechanics underlying earthquake and mining processes.
Applicants must have a strong background in advanced software engineering, and a demonstrated ability in high performance computing and/or scientific/computational software development and scientific visualisation. The successful applicant will be based at the facility headquarters at the University of Queensland.
Applicants should possess a degree in a relevant discipline, advanced programming skills in C/C++ and object oriented software design and implementation. Experience in high performance/parallel computing and software development for discrete simulation methods - particularly finite elements and/or discrete elements - is highly desirable.
This is an initial three year fixed term full-time appointment at Academic Level B or C depending on level of experience and qualifications. Three or more positions are available.
The remuneration package will be in the range of $65,249 - $77,483 (Level B) or $79,930 to $92,164 (Level C) per annum, which includes employer superannuation contributions of 17%.
