# Postdoctoral Position: Multiphysics simulations for geodynamics on heterogeneous exascale systems

- **Company:** Technische Universität München
- **Location:** Munchen, Germany
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** C++ (Programming Language), Computer Programming, Comsol Multiphysics, Software Design Patterns, Python (Programming Language), MATLAB, Supercomputing, Scripting, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), High Performance Computing, Julia, Information Technology
- **Published:** November 8, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.xing.com/jobs/muenchen-postdoctoral-position-multiphysics-simulations-geodynamics-heterogeneous-exascale-systems-159030459

## About the Role

* A Ph.D. in the field of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Computational Science and Engineering, or similar.
 * Knowledge of numerics as part of a degree program. In particular, knowledge about finite-element analysis is an absolute must. Familiarity with iterative solvers, preconditioners, multigrid methods, and mixed-precision approaches is optional but extremely useful.
 * We require good programming skills and experience in C++ and its common programming idioms and design patterns. Knowledge of MATLAB, Python, Julia, or a similar scripting language is necessary for prototyping.
 * Interest and affinity for high-performance computing are necessary for the position. You should have experience with the roofline model and familiarity with a profiler. Experience with GPUs is a bonus.
 * Of course, you need fluency in written and spoken English to communicate your ideas in this interdisciplinary project.

Note that we expect from candidates either a strong background in high-performance computing or in numerical analysis. If you think that you have the requirements above, you should apply for this position., * a motivational letter,

 * a curriculum vitae, and
 * relevant publications, for instance, your Ph.D. thesis.

## Description

* the efficient implementation of new models, methods, and algorithms into existing high-performance frameworks,
 * the fast prototyping of new ideas in individual code,
 * an interest in the entire simulation pipeline: starting from simple algorithms to state-of-the-art applications in geophysics executed on supercomputers,
 * as well as the presentation of the results to the scientific community in journals, at conferences, and as lecture contributions for students.
