Über diesen Job
Scientific Associate (f/m/d) in Computer Science
with the opportunity for a part-time PhD in the Research Group Exascale Algorithm Engineering
Organizational unit
The Scientific Computing Center is the Information Technology Center of KIT.
The Research Group Exascale Algorithm Engineering of SCC works at the interface of algorithmics, parallel computing, and applications in networked systems. Our teaching is delivered as part of the Institute of Theoretical Informatics.
In the focus of this position there is research on parallel discrete algorithms that have a strong foundation in theory and are practical at the same time. You can find selected examples of our previous research work at https://eae.iti.kit.edu/26.php .
Tasks associated with the position are:
- Development of novel algorithmic methods at the interface of discrete algorithms and high-performance computing
- Investigation of the algorithms’ theoretical properties
- Research software engineering (implementation of the developed algorithms)
- Empirical investigation of use cases
- Scientific exchange and publication of results
This position offers the possibility to acquire a PhD degree, which is encouraged.
Starting date
01.02.2026
Job requirements:
- A very good university degree (Master's level) in computer science (or a closely related field, e.g., applied mathematics)
- Good knowledge of the design, as well as in the theoretical and empirical analysis of discrete algorithms and data structures, and in their implementation; particularly desirable are graph algorithms and C++ as a programming language
- Knowledge of parallel programming (e.g. with MPI or for GPUs) is of great interest
- Very good English skills; good German skills are an advantage but not required
- Self-motivation, ability to work in a team and a strong commitment to excellent scientific research, including interdisciplinary work
You can expect individual supervision, access to modern hardware for parallel computing, and further infrastructure for excellent scientific research.
