Why work at PDC
PDC employs researchers, software developers, systems administrators, and project managers who have experience using or running high-performance computing (HPC) systems for research and who can communicate in English.
If you are interested in high-performance computing, and particularly in combining one or more of the natural sciences or engineering fields with computationally intensive simulation and modelling, then PDC may be just the place for you. We have one of the fastest supercomputers for academic research in the Nordic countries and our mission is to help other people to do their research more effectively using the supercomputing and storage resources at PDC and also other HPC resources provided by the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS).
Many of the jobs at PDC are more geared towards people who prefer to focus on assisting other people in their research and not so much on doing research themselves. However a research background is highly appreciated (and is required in some positions), and staff are encouraged to do some research so as to keep up with the developments in their area of expertise and to collaborate with other researchers in their field.
If you like tinkering with large Linux clusters, then we also have jobs that centre around installing and maintaining our systems so they run without interruption.
Advantages of PDC’s location
- based at the dynamic KTH main campus which is renowned for top-notch technical research
- close to the Karolinska Institute (KI) and Stockholm University (SU), both of which collaborate with PDC
- close to the centre of Stockholm
- easily accessible by public transport (about a 5-minute walk from Tekniska högskolan bus/metro station and Stockholms Östra train station)
- right next to the beautiful Royal National City Park (so you can take lunch time walks in the forest even though you are in the middle of a city)
