Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Computational Scientist to play a pivotal role in solving kinetic equations with a specific emphasis on particle-based methods for implementation of collision operators.

Key Responsibilities
  • Development of mathematical tools for accurate solution of kinetic equations with a focus on tools for modelling collisions.
  • Implementation of developed methodologies in code.
  • Performance of detailed code analysis including evaluation of key performance metrics.
  • Definition of test cases for any new code development.
  • Development of uncertainty quantification schemes for robust prediction.
  • Contribution to reporting results and outreach work within and outside the organisation.
  • Collaboration with national and international partners in evolving codes to exploit peta- and exa-scale systems.
  • Work with academic and commercial partners to evaluate and exploit novel computing architectures for use within the community.
Requirements
  • At least a doctoral degree in a computational, mathematical or physical science discipline (or equivalent experience in either a commercial or research environment).
  • Advanced knowledge of the mathematical foundations of kinetic theory.
  • Experience with numerical methods for the simulation of kinetic systems, particularly particle methods.
  • Demonstrable experience of at least one compiled level language (e.g. C++, Fortran, C, Rust) or advanced scripting language (Julia, R, Python).
  • Good experience of the UNIX operating system, particularly the command line interface.
  • Knowledge of modern software engineering practices.
  • Ability to work within a diverse team while also taking personal responsibility.
  • Excellent written and spoken English.
  • Knowledge of uncertainty quantification (UQ) approaches for augmenting simulations.
  • Ability to travel around the UK and Europe for short periods (1-5 days).
What We Offer

We welcome applications from under-represented groups, particularly individuals from black and other ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and women. Our Executive team, supported by our 'Equality, Diversity and Inclusion' (EDI) Partner and Inclusion Ambassadors, actively promotes EDI and takes steps to increase diversity within our organization. We reinforce best practices in recruitment and selection and evaluate approaches to remove barriers to success.
