·      Swiss SRC lead software architect

The Swiss SRC Lead Software Architect is responsible for the implementation and operations of the Swiss SRC software infrastructure. In close collaboration with the Swiss SRC Project Scientist at EPFL, he or she ensures that the infrastructure supports the goal of maximizing the scientific return of the Square Kilometer Array Observatory (SKAO) in Switzerland. To achieve this, he or she pays particular attention to the needs of the infrastructure stakeholders, in particular the SKAO and SKACH partners. He or she coordinates and supports the integration of the different software development efforts of the SKAO and its Swiss partners, most likely with a deployment on the systems of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). The Software Architect ensures that the Swiss SRC inspires other members of the worldwide SRC network and that their successful developments are leveraged

·      Doctoral and Postdoctoral researchers in Machine Learning for Heliophysics, in the framework of the RODEM project, rodem.ch

In the advertised positions, you will explore the application of deep learning models in different solar physics use cases. One example is the use of diffusion models to provide efficient and highly discriminative classifiers for solar flare prediction or anomaly detection. You will be part of the Institute for Data Science, where we bring a strong background in data science and computer science in general, and machine learning and deep learning in particular. Within the project, you will work closely with the local team and with other groups at national and international level. Beyond the solar physics research projects, you could also contribute to projects in other areas covered by the Institute or get involved in teaching.
