[DMANET] 3(+2)-years researcher position in sequential and parallel software energy optimization at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa

The Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa is happy to announce the opening of a three-years junior researcher position (RTD-A). This is the entry point of the academic career in Italy, quite above to standard post-doc positions in terms of salary and duties.

The position is entirely financed by the H2020 project "Plan4RES". The project aims at constructing a software system capable of optimising the integrated pan-European energy system (electricity, gas, heat/cooling, mobility, ...) on long time scales (10 years or more). The research will focus on development of decomposition algorithms for large- and very-large-scale problems, and in particular on their implementation in highly modular and well-engineered software codes capable of satisfying the needs of the project. The required skills then primarily lie in the development of modular and efficient software, both sequential and parallel, with focus on numerical optimization.

The researcher will have to work full-time on the Plan4RES project, contributing to achieving its scientific objectives in terms of scientific publications on high-level scientific journals, dissemination to international conferences, and, above all, development of the deliverables of the project also in terms of implementation and test of efficient and modular software codes. Also, teaching of one course (one semester) per year is mandatory; teaching in English is generally possible.

The position is fully funded for three years. At the end of this term, conditioned to reciprocal interest and availability of funds (likely, but not certain), the position can be extended for two further years, then with research duties to be agreed.

The official documents for applying for the position can be found here:

Any request for further details can be addressed to Antonio Frangioni (frangio@di.unipi.it), scientific responsible for the project at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa.
