Julich - Alpha Numerics Zero

Cool project title. Someone tell them to code it in Julia?

The objective of this project is to rethink numerical methods on high-performance computers.

Traditionally, a lot of effort goes into the design, implementation, and optimization of solvers for differential equations, numerical libraries, etc. Furthermore, performance engineering is necessary to scale simulation codes onto supercomputers. New ideas are urgently needed as developing methods for the upcoming extreme-scale supercomputers is becoming increasingly challenging

“Nearly” 200 000 € for 2.5 years is not a lot of money, esp. if you take German overheads into account. A part-time PhD position maybe.
