The place for physicists and engineers to find Jobs, Studentships, Courses, Calls for Proposals and Announcements
The Cyprus Institute ( www.cyi.ac.cy) is a novel, non-profit research and
educational institution, with a scientific and technological orientation,
pursuing issues of regional importance and of global significance in
the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Africa. The
development of CyI involves the progressive launching of several cross-disciplinary research centers. CaSToRC is being jointly developed with
the University of Illinois and its National Center for Supercomputing
Applications and is intended to serve as an important research resource
for CyI, Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean region, and as a gateway
between the EU and the region for advancing computational science,
engineering and technology.
Research Associate for Software Development for the
Computation-based Science and Technology Research
Center (CaSToRC) - CaSToRC-09-02
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to participate
in the development of software applications including interactive web
applications and online databases within the Atlantis European/US
project entitled “Building a cyber-Platform for the support of High
Performance computing higher education”. The project is coordinated
by the Cyprus Institute and has as partners NCSA of the University of
Illinois, Penn State University, the Jülich Supercomputing Center, the
German Research School and the University of Wuppertal.
Required Education and Experience:
• MS degree in a computer/computational science, natural science,
or engineering field required. Alternative degree fields will be
considered if accompanied by equivalent experience (depending on
nature and depth of experience as it relates to the current project).
• At least 2 years of experience in development, modification,
maintenance, porting and administration of web-based applications;
UNIX and/or LINUX and programming with one or more of the
following: C, C++, Fortran.
Project Manager for the Computation-based Science and
Technology Research Center (CaSToRC) - CaSToRC-09-03
We are seeking a Project Manager to take responsibility of the
management of its research and educational projects. Most of these
projects are funded from the European Union, from NSF, US and from
the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation (RPF).
The successful candidate will work with Prof. C. Alexandrou, who chairs
the Interim Governing Board of CaSToRC, to oversee and coordinate
the planning of the various projects, monitor the progress, design and
implement appropriate tracking procedures including enabling software
and administer the financial and budgetary aspects. These projects
involve partners from Europe, the US and the Eastern Mediterranean
and the successful candidate is expected to work with their respective
administrations for the optimal implementation of the projects.
