We recognise and value the benefits of diversity throughout our staff and students.\n\n\nThe Role\n\n\nApplications are invited for a postdoctoral position to develop quantum algorithms for fluid simulations, to work as part of the EPSRC funded ExCALIBUR project on Quantum Enhanced and Verified Exascale Computing (QEVEC). The QEVEC project addresses the potential of quantum computing as a disruptor in exascale computing. Even at an early stage of development, if quantum computing can be deployed as a co-processor to tackle bottlenecks in existing and future exascale codes, it has the potential to provide a huge boost to the overall computational power.\n\n\nThere will be four PDRAS in the QEVEC team, each with different expertise, working to-gether to develop quantum computing for the main ExCALIBUR use cases (fluids simulations and materials simulations), and methods to validate the hybrid quantum-classical algorithms. This post specifically considers the important application area of quantum algorithms in com-putational fluid dynamics. The candidate will evaluate new and existing quantum algorithms for their suitability as quantum subroutines for exascale codes, including for lattice Boltz-mann, smooth particle hydrodynamics, and other computational fluid dynamics (CFD) meth-ods. \n\n\nWe are seeking an enthusiastic computational researcher in fluid dynamics who is interested in developing quantum computing skills, or a quantum computing researcher who is keen to investigate potential applications in fluid dynamics simulations. You need to be a good team worker and communicator to work closely with computational scientists across discipline boundaries.\n\n\nThe post is based in Durham, but the candidate is expected to collaborate closely with other members of the QEVEC team based in Strathclyde, UCL, Warwick and London Southbank. Where appropriate, the candidate will also engage with other ExCALIBUR projects, Collaborative Computational Projects (CCPs) and High End Consortiums (HECs), the National Quantum Computing Centre and the Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub. \n\n\nThe post is for 24 months, to commence in June 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. We also welcome part time applications to this role.\n\n\nInformal enquiries are welcome and should please be directed to Prof Halim Kusumaatmaja (<a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:halim.kusumaatmaja@durham.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">halim.kusumaatmaja@durham.ac.uk</a>) and/or Dr Alastair Basden (<a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:a.g.basden@durham.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">a.g.basden@durham.ac.uk</a>).
