Summer worker Beamline Office Optics

Your role
As a summer worker, your primary role will be to deploy a parallel license usage of Comsol by a bespoke x-ray optic simulation script (MASH) and, if successful, port the script to the MAX IV computational cluster.

MASH is an elaborate script written in IDL, calling to various codes for ray-tracing, finite element analysis (Comsol), and other tasks related to simulations needed in the process of designing new experimental stations and beamlines. Attempting to run several instances of the script in parallel has currently resulted in License issues with Comsol. In principle, the license allows running an unlimited number of instances of Comsol on a dedicated computer, and unlocking this capability will be your task.

Your main tasks will be:

• Multiple instances of Comsol on a dedicated server
• Porting MASH to the MAX IV Cluster
• Other computational optimisations in MASH. 
  
  

Qualifications

• Enrolled in a relevant university program (e.g., Computing, engineering, physics or related fields)
• Strong Computational / IT skills, including programming
• Demonstrated ability in programming or full-stack deployment of, complex applications
• Basic knowledge of IDL or Comsol is a plus. 
  
  

As a person you are organised and take initiative, and enjoy being 'hands-on'. You must be a minimum of 18 years old and fluent in English to apply to this position.
