3-year fixed-term NA Position, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK

We have an opening for a fixed-term, junior researcher to join the Numerical Analysis Group at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, near Oxford, England. The Group’s main focus is on topics relating to large-scale numerical linear algebra and optimization.

The position will involve undertaking novel independent and collaborative scientific research at an international level in an area of computational numerical analysis that is closely related to the existing research interests of the Group. The role will also contribute to developing, supporting and maintaining software within the Group’s key software projects (notably HSL, SPRAL and GALAHAD).

Further responsibilities will include developing national and international research collaborations, working with colleagues on the development and expansion of projects involving STFC scientific facilities (notably the ISIS pulsed neutron and muon source, Diamond Light Source and RAL Space), and the writing of grant applications to secure future funding for numerical analysis research and software development projects.

For further details, please visit http://www.topcareer.jobs/Vacancy/irc240691_7110.aspx or contact us ([email protected], [email protected]) by email for particular queries. The closing date for applications is the 14th May 2017, with interviews scheduled for the 12th June 2017.
