At the University of Twente, we developed world's fastest technique for accurately simulating the propagation of light, sound, and other waves. In this 18-month project, you will further develop this technique into a professional software product that may be commercialized. Technical challenges include rewriting the code to partition the computations over a large number of cloud-based GPU systems, as well as integration with existing tools and packages.

For this position we are searching for an excellent programmer with a MSc or PhD degree. Experience in the following topics is preferred:

• Collaborative software development
• PyTorch
• Cloud computing
• Writing software for scientific computing
• Developing production-quality software

We offer an excellent and stimulating scientific and educational environment with an attractive campus and plenty of facilities for sports and leisure. The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Universities (CAO), and include:

• A temporary fulltime position for 18 months;
• Starting salary from € 2.960,- to € 4.670,- (scale 10) gross per month, based on education and relevant work experience.
• Holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.
• A minimum of 29 leave days in case of fulltime employment based on a formal workweek of 38 hours. A fulltime employment in practice means 40 hours a week, therefore resulting in 96 extra leave hours on an annual basis.
• Professional and personal development programs.
• A solid pension scheme
• The 30% ruling might be applicable, which can result in max 30% of the gross salary as a tax-free cost allowance

You will be working in the Biomedical Photonic Imaging research group at the department of Science and Engineering. Research in our group ranges from the development of novel algorithms (for machine learning, optical wavefront shaping and simulations of light propagation) to applications in resolution microscopy, optical coherence tomography, acousto-optics, laser speckle and thermal imaging. BMPI is part of the Techmed Centre of the University of Twente.
