Subject: SciML: Open Source Software for Scientific Machine Learning

We are pleased to announce SciML, an umbrella organization for the
development of open source scientific machine learning software.
SciML is a rebranding of the JuliaDiffEq organization and its
DifferentialEquations.jl software suite in order to include the larger
space of automated model discovery, uncertainty quantification, and
neural surrogates which are utilized throughout modern
applications. This organization covers methods such as adaptive
stochastic differential equation solvers, GPU-compatible adjoints,
Hessian-free Newton-Krylov optimization, graph-based stochastic
simulation algorithms, (and many more!) and allows for combining and
composing these models and tools. Some highly relevant links are:

- DifferentialEquations.jl:
  https://docs.sciml.ai/latest/

- DiffEqFlux.jl: Neural Networks in Differential Equations
  https://diffeqflux.sciml.ai/dev/ and https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04385

- DataDrivenDiffEq.jl: Koopman and SInDy methods
  https://datadriven.sciml.ai/dev/

- DiffEqBenchmarks.jl: Differential equation benchmarking
  https://github.com/SciML/DiffEqBenchmarks.jl

That is a selection of the >50 scientific computing software packages
in this domain. For more details, consult our introduction blog post:

Subject: Postdoc Position, HPC/NA, Max Planck Computing and Data
Facility, Germany

The Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) is looking for a
HPC application expert (m/f/d). The successful candidate will be
associated with the applications group at the MPCDF (based on the
research campus Garching near Munich, Germany) and will work on the
high-performance eigenvalue-solver library ELPA. The main task will be
to port and optimize the ELPA library for upcoming Exascale computer
architectures, in the context of the European Horizon 2020 Center of
Excellence "NOMAD2".

The applicant should hold a PhD in Physics, Computer Science, applied
Mathematics, or a similar subject. A strong background in the parallel
programming models MPI and OpenMP and in scientific software
development is mandatory. Ideally, the candidate offers a background
in numerical linear algebra and has a profound knowledge of the
Scalapack library, complemented with some familiarity of major
high-performance eigenvalue solver libraries and algorithms.

The full-time position starts as soon as possible and is initially
limited for a maximum period of three years. Salary will be based on
experience according to the German TVoD. For detailed information

Subject: Postdoc Position, Ice Sheet Modeling, Berkeley Lab

Berkeley Lab's Computational Research Division has an opening for a
Postdoctoral Scholar to work on the BISICLES Ice Sheet Model.

The Applied Numerical Algorithms Group (ANAG), in partnership with the
Universities of Bristol and Swansea in the UK, is a home of BISICLES,
an open-source adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) ice sheet model under
development as a part of the U.S. Department of Energy-funded ProSPect
SciDAC partnership (see http://bisicles.lbl.gov). You will join an
interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers in extending the
current BISICLES capabilities while applying the model to a range of
idealized and realistic problems.

ANAG develops advanced numerical algorithms and software for partial
differential equations integrated with the application of the software
to problems of independent scientific and engineering interest. The
primary focus of our work is in the development of high-resolution and
adaptive finite difference methods for partial differential equations
in complex geometries with applications to DOE-mission applications
including porous media flows, magnetohydrodynamics, industrial
problems, climate, and fusion energy.

From: Bartosz Protas [log in to unmask]
Date: May 19, 2020
Subject: Postdoc Position, Math Modelling and Scientific Computing, McMaster

Applications are invited for a one-year postdoctoral position in the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. This
fellowship provides an opportunity to engage in research in close
collaboration with Dr. Protas and his group (more information
available at http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/bprotas ) with a limited
amount of teaching. The focus of this industry-cofunded position will
be research on mathematical and computational modelling of
nonequilibrium electrochemical and thermodynamic processes occurring
in Li-ion batteries. This position is intended for an applied
mathematician interested in exploring a rapidly developing application
area, or for a mathematically-minded chemist with a solid background
in theoretical and computational chemistry. In either case, knowledge
of multiscale modelling (especially homogenization), electrochemistry,
PDEs and scientific computing will be an asset. This research project
also involves close collaboration with chemists and material
scientists as well as research scientists with our Industrial Partner.

The fellowship is open to candidates of any nationality and selection
will be based on the candidate's research potential and fit with
Dr. Protas' research group. The fellowship starts on September 1, 2020
or earlier, and provides an annual salary of $45,000 CAD plus a $2,000
CAD research grant.  Candidates are required to apply for this
fellowship by using the MathJobs website (see our advertisement with
ID McMaster-PDFMMSC [#15960] at www.mathjobs.org). We will begin
reviewing applications on June 8, 2020. Applications received after
this date will be accepted until the position is filled, but to ensure
full consideration applicants are advised to submit all supporting
materials by the above deadline.
