ETH Zurich is one of the world’s leading universities specialising in science and technology. We are renowned for our excellent education, cutting-edge fundamental research and direct transfer of new knowledge into society. Over 30,000 people from more than 120 countries find our university to be a place that promotes independent thinking and an environment that inspires excellence. Located in the heart of Europe, yet forging connections all over the world, we work together to develop solutions for the global challenges of today and tomorrow.
The Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM) at ETH Zurich, ETH Zurich, and MeteoSwiss are leading an effort to improve our climate projection and weather forecast capabilities by adapting numerical models to new and emerging computing architectures. As a part of a large international collaboration involving the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), Max-Planck-Institut für Meteorologie (MPI-Met), and the German Weather Service (DWD), the weather and climate model ICON is being ported and optimized to run on various supercomputing architectures, in particular on Graphical Processing Units (GPUs). Different approaches are considered to port and adapt the various components of the models, ranging from domain specific languages (DSLs) to the compiler directives OpenACC.
Job description
We are seeking a motivated Software / Compiler Developer to join an international and interdisciplinary team. The main tasks of the successful candidate will be to further develop and participate in a re-designing effort of our source to source compiler CLAW (claw-project.github.io) used to port components of the ICON model to GPUs. You will be able to use and increase your skills in DSL and compiler technologies for production software on high performance computing systems.
Your profile
You have an MSc or PhD in Computer Science or a related field.
To round off your profile, you are an open-minded, team-oriented, and goal-driven individual and enjoy working in a diverse working environment.
Interested?
We offer an engaging position which provides the opportunity to work on leading edge software and hardware technologies, to collaborate with internationally renowned research groups and supercomputing centers, and to develop production quality software products, within a motivated team.
The position is available as of July 2020 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The initial appointment is for 1 year. The working place will be MeteoSwiss (Zurich airport, easily accessible by public transport).
