We would also appreciate if you could share the job posting on pertinent mailing lists, social networks, etc. # # # Description The Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago seeks qualified lecturers for the 2019/20 school year to teach an existing Functional Programming course in the Masters Program in Computer Science (http://csmasters.uchicago.edu/) The MPCS Functional Programming course presents the functional programming paradigm using the Haskell programming language, while also exploring how Functional Programming features are used in more modern languages and libraries such as C++, Java, Elm, and React libraries and how they are used in real-world settings. The course is structured around lectures that present foundational concepts along with several homework assignments. This course has been taught multiple times in the program and, while past offerings of the class may serve as a reference, lecturers are expected to refresh course materials each year, including preparing new coursework for a new offering of the class. The syllabus of the most recent offering can be found here: https://mpcs-courses.cs.uchicago.edu/2018-19/winter/courses/51400 Courses are held for ten weeks during each academic quarter, with the eleventh week for a final project or exam. Courses can meet in the daytime (meeting 2-3 times a week for a total of three hours) or in the evening (meeting once per week for three hours). The exact day(s)/time(s) are determined in consultation with the lecturer. This position is part-time and is not benefits eligible. Applicants must currently be authorized to work permanently in the U.S. Qualifications Applicants will be evaluated on teaching skills and command of specific course content. Applicants must have completed a Master's degree in Computer Science or have equivalent professional experience in the specific course areas. Applicants with a PhD in Computer Science or teaching experience at the university level will be given preferred consideration. Application Instructions Applicants must upload a curriculum vitae, a cover letter describing technical and teaching experience, and a list of three references. Equal Employment Opportunity Statement We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange. The University of Chicago is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/Disabled/Veterans Employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national or ethnic origin, age, status as an individual with a disability, protected veteran status, genetic information, or other protected classes under the law.

There are CFD/MHD codes that employ FFTs in 3D for a particular set of boundary conditions -- good question whether they will continue to scale on new architectures.

Early (~1985, see below) lattice field theories used FFT for accelerating simulations. My understanding is that it does not parallel well, so nobody uses it anymore. Langevin simulations of lattice field theories G. G. Batrouni, G. R. Katz, A. S. Kronfeld, G. P. Lepage, B. Svetitsky, and K. G. Wilson Phys. Rev. D 32, 2736 – Published 15 November 1985 ABSTRACT We present a new analysis of Langevin simulation techniques for lattice field theories, including a general discussion of errors and algorithm speed. We introduce Fourier techniques that greatly accelerate simulations on large lattices. We also introduce a new technique for including quark vacuum-polarization corrections that admits any number of flavors, odd or even, without the need for nested Monte Carlo calculations. Our analysis is supported by a variety of numerical experiments.
