A permanent position of research engineer in scientific computing is proposed through a CNRS external competition at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics (LPT-UMR 5152) and at the Institute of Research in Astrophysics and Planetology (IRAP-UMR 5277) in Toulouse. The expert in scientific computing will exercise his activity within the framework of a shared function between the LPT at 50% and IRAP at 50%. He/she will provide expertise in the use of algorithmic / mathematical methods and their adaptation to different machine architectures as well as the development, optimization, maintenance and dissemination of parallel codes to numerically solve quantum or classical physics problems in at the heart of the activity of the LPT and the problems of dynamics of astrophysical and physical fluids of plasmas at the heart of the activity of IRAP. Interested candidates can consult http://www.dgdr.cnrs.fr/drhita/concoursita/

The localisation2020 conference will take place on August 24th (Mon) – 28th (Fri), 2020. It will provide an opportunity to report recent progress and discuss open problems in localisation and related fields. Usually organized in Sapporo, the Localisation2020 will this year be held online as a virtual conference due to the Covid19 pandemic. see the conference website for more information.

This school will take place at Les Houches from 13 September to 18 September 2020. Topics include quantum optics, topological states, plasmonic quantum optics,quantum metrology, light scattering in disordered media, artificial atoms for quantum technologies, quantum optics using rydberg atoms. 

A one-year Post-Doc position is opened at Institut Langevin, focused on matrix approaches to elastic wave scattering on percolated disordered networks. The Post-Doc is funded by LabEx (Laboratory of Excellence) WIFI (Waves and Imaging from Fundamentals to Innovation) within the French Program “Investments for the Future”.
