Jobbeschreibung

Since 2021, HPC at universities has been restructured by the NHR network. The network consists of nine centers, which operate the systems and offer a coordinated consulting service on the methodological competence of scientific HPC. The aim is to provide scientists at German universities with computing capacity for their research and to strengthen their skills in the efficient use of this resource. The NHR Center at TUD Dresden University of Technology operates state-of-the-art High Performance Computing (HPC) systems, providing researchers at German universities with critical computing resources for their scientific work. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.
