TITLE:   RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIST I  (a research faculty appointment)

DESCRIPTION:

We are seeking an experienced high-performance computing administrator/ 
manager to provide technical leadership and oversight of a rapidly  
growing set of leading-edge computational resources.

The Computational Sciences and Engineering (CSE) division supports  
interdisciplinary research and education in computer science and  
applied mathematics using parallel computers such as IBM p-Series and  
Cell BladeCenters, IBM BlueGene systems, Sun Enterprise servers, GPU  
computing, Sony PlayStations, and Linux clusters, some of which  
possess very large storage systems and/or use high-speed HPC  
interconnects (e.g. Gigabit Ethernet and Infiniband). The CSE mission  
is designed to innovate and create new expertise, technologies, and  
practitioners. The candidate will work in support of research data  
centers with existing HPC systems, collaborate on research and  
application development, and migrate users to tera- and peta-scale  
systems. The candidate will work closely with the CoC Technology  
Services Organization to align with the CSE division and implement  
large-scale, automated approaches to managing substantial quantities  
of high-performance computing resources.

QUALIFICATIONS

Minimum qualifications include a bachelors degree.

Must have the ability to contribute to existing research agendas and  
assist in the preparation and execution of research proposals and  
budgets.

Should have experience in high-performance research computing or large  
data centers, and in-depth understanding of the following:

- operating systems
- queuing systems and schedulers
- networking infrastructure issues
- storage solutions related to HPC
- high-speed HPC interconnects (e.g., Infiniband)
- system tuning
- data backup

SKILLS

Skills should include system administration for scientific HPC  
servers; workstations and storage, including cluster management; grid  
computing; application software configuration; compilers; parallel  
libraries; queuing and scheduling; knowledge of at least two  
programming and script languages; proficiency in project planning and  
project management; ability to work independently as well as  
collaborate with end users and other system administrators. Candidate  
should have proven communications skills, make presentations, create  
technical documentation, strong service orientation, supervise junior  
personnel.
