About this position
KTH Royal Institute of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in high-performance data management and artificial intelligence within the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The role is connected to Plasma-PEPSC 2, a European Centre of Excellence in high-performance computing and plasma physics funded by EuroHPC and coordinated by KTH.
The research focuses on scalable methods for managing and analysing the large datasets produced by scientific simulations. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate efficient data workflows, parallel I/O, data analytics, and data compression, while integrating AI and machine-learning methods with Plasma-PEPSC 2 simulation codes. The work sits at the intersection of high-performance computing, scientific computing, research data management, and computational plasma physics.
The successful candidate will collaborate closely with international experts in HPC, AI, and computational plasma physics across European universities, research institutes, and supercomputing centres. In addition to the research programme, the role includes central project-management responsibilities for Plasma-PEPSC 2, including coordination of international partners, monitoring activities, reporting to the funding agency, and organising project meetings and collaborative work.
The position offers an opportunity to contribute to large-scale European research infrastructure and simulation science in an international technical-university environment.
