Brandeis University seeks to hire a Research Computing Specialist to work with graduate students, faculty, and other researchers to enable and support scientific research and teaching activities requiring substantial computational resources. In addition, he/she is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the centralized High Performance Compute Cluster (HPC) and for providing support for proper use of these resources by the clients.
 

Degree in a science discipline; graduate training preferred.  At least 3-5 years of experience addressing research computing problems and troubleshooting computing problems. Proficiency in at least one programming languages and willingness to learn new languages. Ability to communicate in technical terms with scientists about goals and techniques used in research.
 

Brandeis is involved in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the LZ direct dark matter search experiment, the DES and LSST cosmic surveys and the gravitational waves detector LIGO; Brandeis faculty, postdocs and students are engaged in measuring the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson, searches for dark matter and dark energy, discovery of new gravitational wave sources and cosmological measurements using optical and radio data combined with a strong hardware program in all of these areas to build the next generation of detectors. The Theoretical High Energy Physics group pursues leading research in string theory and cosmology.  Other areas of research include Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC), the NIH-funded Quantitative Biology training program and the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program to create a group of mathematical scientists with the computational skills, intellectual flexibility and global perspective needed to attack pressing problems in pure science, applied science and public policy that require a mathematically sophisticated, interdisciplinary approach.
