Job Description

Job Description

Introduction:

In this role you will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and validating physics simulation software used to model particle interactions in high-energy physics (HEP) detectors. Working within the Geant4 Simulation team, you will contribute to ongoing efforts to extend physics coverage, improve modelling capabilities, and enhance computing performance.

A major focus of the role is the development of detector and physics simulations for GPU and other parallel computing architectures, supporting the growing computational demands of the High-Luminosity LHC and future experiments. You will play an important role in advancing both physics models and the efficiency of their implementation in high-performance computing environments. 

Functions:

  • Further develop the Geant4-based GPU-enabled component, AdePT , ensuring its smooth integration into the LHC experime...
