About the role
ARC roles can be both research roles, contributing to the scholarly life of the university, carrying out research and teaching, and professional service roles, delivering shared capabilities and following professional best practice.
You will gain the opportunity to join ARC’s community of staff scientists and research technology professionals, both delivering the services and systems which make data and compute-intensive research possible, and discovering and innovating new tools, practices, and systems in this field.
This post is in the HPC Solutions team and will focus on providing user support for our high throughput and high performance computing clusters, building and installing research software applications using Spack and other methods, monitoring and adjusting the configuration of our new scheduler (Slurm) to meet the policies set by our governance groups, and working on improvements to the user-facing components of our systems and the procedures we use to provide a good service to researchers.
