Summary

Contract: Fixed term until 31/12/2027

We are recruiting a Research Officer to help deliver the EPSRC programme grant REMODEL, advancing parallel mesh generation and geometry representation for industrially relevant, high-fidelity simulations at Exascale. Based at Swansea University, you will play a central part in a multi-institution effort that blends algorithmic innovation with robust, production-quality research software.

You will lead the design, implementation and validation of unstructured parallel meshing methods, adding h/p adaptivity and geometry-conforming capabilities. This will include developing parallel mesh adaptivity algorithms for heterogeneous CPU/GPU architectures, with a strong emphasis on performance profiling and optimisation. You will manage defined tasks and milestones and collaborate closely with colleagues across the consortium to align interfaces and ensure interoperability. It is expected that successful applicant will be actively producing peer-reviewed publications of their developed techniques.

At Swansea, you’ll join a technically driven, publication-active team known for computational modelling and meshing research, with a strong culture of code quality, open and reproducible practices, and mentoring. You’ll have access to modern development workflows and HPC resources, and opportunities to contribute to shared tooling used across the consortium.

Applicants should demonstrate recent experience in parallel programming (MPI/OpenMP/CUDA), strong Fortran and C++ engineering, and prior exposure to mesh generation, adaptivity or computational geometry. See the job description for further details.
