Job Details
As part of your job, you will be responsible for the application and further development of a workflow environment as well as its integration into the innovation platform MaterialDigital (PMD) for the realization of multiscale simulation processes. This includes the provision of a web interface for the workflow environment SimStack, as well as its connection to decentralized data sources, computing capacities and ontologies. Furthermore, you will be involved in the administration and further development of the PMD instance within the PMD infrastructure for the systematic digitization of material sciences. In addition, you will support project partners at KIT and national research institutions as well as industry partners in the development and implementation of simulations within the PMD infrastructure. Your main task will be the transfer of existing simulation protocols into modular workflows. In cooperation with external partners, the developed methods will be applied to current problems in materials science and published in international journals. In addition, you are responsible for the Material Digital platform and shall support KIT in the application and implementation of new European/national projects in multiscale simulations. This is especially true with respect to the acquisition and execution of third-party funded projects. Furthermore, you will further be responsible for supporting users in the application and further development of the provided software and workflow solutions.
Personal qualification
You have a university degree (Diplom (Uni) / Master) in physics or chemistry with a doctorate or a university degree (Diplom (Uni) / Master) in computer science or IT. In addition, you have already gained several years of professional experience in theoretical physics and/or development and application of simulation methods as well as workflow environments. Furthermore, you can demonstrate good knowledge in software/workflow engineering as well as experience with object-oriented programming (Python, C++), the creation of websites/interfaces (e.g. using Flask), container solutions (Docker, Singularity, or similar) and working with HPC systems.

Company
At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) scientists do research and teach.
They work on important topics. These topics are important to all people.
For example, they ask:
How can energy be generated without harming the environment?
How can you make the Internet secure so no one can steal money or data?
The area of knowledge in which a researcher knows a lot is called the specific field.
The researchers at KIT are very familiar with many different specific fields.
These specific fields are: natural sciences, engineering, economics, humanities, social sciences.
However, the researchers in the city of Karlsruhe do not only want to know their specific fields very well.
They say: Our research should benefit people in everyday life. That is why they try to make many practical inventions.
KIT says: We also want to pass on the knowledge of our researchers to young people.
If they also want to become a specialist in a specific field.
Many come to Karlsruhe to study when they have finished school.
23,300 young people study at KIT.
KIT says: Our students work very closely with the researchers.
That's why they learn so much at KIT.
And they easily find a good job after graduation.
Around 9,600 people work at KIT.
5,400 of them are researchers and teach students.
KIT is therefore one of the major scientific institutions in the continent of Europe.
Because research and teaching at KIT are so important, the KIT is called a Research University.
And it belongs to the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres.
That is why KIT is "The Research University in the Helmholtz Association".
