The opportunity

EPCC is the UK’s leading centre for Supercomputing and Data Analytics with an international reputation for excellence in computational science and supercomputing research. Our facilities and expertise are unmatched in Europe. At present we host and manage the largest supercomputer in the UK (ARCHER2), and we have been chosen to host the UK’s first Exascale supercomputer.

At EPCC we share a passion for innovation using state-of-the-art technologies, a love of solving complex challenges and a desire to impact our academic, public and private sector partners and clients in a meaningful way. Our collaborators include Rolls Royce and the UK Met Office.

The Exascale era is here and EPCC is involved in a wide variety of High-Performance Computing research. We are currently running a variety of projects, spanning the underlying hardware and systemware required for the Exascale, through to the optimisation of applications and the development of completely new applications specifically targeted at (likely heterogeneous) systems with extreme levels of parallelism.

The years ahead represent the biggest challenge yet for supercomputing. Join us and you will work at the forefront of computational science and supercomputing research and development.

We are seeking graduates and engineers to work as Applications Developers on project-oriented research in High-Performance Computing, around software development, performance optimisation and cross-cutting research. Experience developing numerical applications using C/C++ or Fortran is required, and knowledge of parallel computing is highly desirable.

These posts are full-time and 2 years fixed-term (with strong likelihood of extension)
