Procuro aluno(a)s interessado(a)s em Iniciação Científica em computação de alto desempenho aplicada à astrofísica. O projeto consiste em acelerar ray tracing ao redor de buracos negros—a la Interestelar—usando GPUs.
Requisitos:
Cursar ciência da computação, engenharia elétrica ou matemática aplicada
Conforto com a linguagem C
Conhecimentos básicos–ou forte interesse–em otimização e paralelização
Pontos extras: noções de programação em GPUs (OpenCL ou CUDA)
We have one or more postdoctoral positions available at our Black Hole Group. If you are interested in black hole (astro)physics (including theory/numerical simulations), AGNs and/or gamma-ray astronomy, you are welcome to apply for one of the positions.
One clarification though: this is a pre-application. The selected candidate(s) will be sponsored for a postdoctoral fellowship application to the Sao Paulo funding agency FAPESP. If approved, the position will be funded for two years with the possibility of extension for a third year contingent on performance. The salary is generous for Brazilian standards (it is the best paying postdoc salary in the country) and includes research/travel budget and relocation costs.
