Germany: Postdoc position in Numerical Simulation for Lattice QCD

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Wuppertal, Germany invites outstanding candidates to apply for a

two-year postdoc position

in the field of numerical simulations of lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The successful applicant will join project "Computing quark propagation in a gluon background" of the Research Unit "Future methods for studying confined gluons in QCD" (FOR 5269, https://for5269.desy.de/ ) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Research topics include algorithmic developments for distillation, variance reduction in stochastic trace estimation and GPU implementations. The appointment starts September 1st, 2026 and ends August 31st, 2028.

A Masters (or comparable) degree and PhD degree in mathematics, informatics or physics are required. Very good programming skills are a requirement and familiarity with the research topics mentioned above is an advantage. Please submit your application documents (CV, statement of research interests, 3 letters of reference) by email to Andreas Frommer (frommer@uni-wuppertal.de) who is also the contact for any further inquiries.
