Hi All The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) have a vacancy for an additional member to join a small specialist team providing a Scientific Computing capability in our new AgriBio facility at Bundoora and in future, potentially other sites across Victoria. This is a senior role in a team supporting a mixed computing environment, ranging from a High-Throughput 2000-core Linux Cluster with hundreds of Terabytes of storage, all the way down to down to dedicated Windows desktop PC’s attached to scientific devices and even the odd embedded system. This is not a purely back-room role, we sit out in the open with our users and interact face-to-face. Scientific Computing is a dynamic environment and we are about to undertake a refresh of our cluster, so there is always something new on the horizon, as well as the day-to-day break-fix. As mentioned, it is a mixed environment and a small team, so we require skills, or the willingness to acquire them, across a wide range of areas, including HPC/HTC, Linux (RHEL/CentOS), Windows server and desktop environments, networking, storage (EMC) and VMWare. While we do as much as we can with Linux and Open Source, Windows is still an important part of the mix in Scientific Computing and we must interact with the Corporate Computing environment too, so, yes, we really do need Windows skills :) This is a Life-Sciences organization, so experience in scientific computing is a distinct advantage and Life-Sciences or Computational Biology even more so. For further details and for a Position Description, see the position advertisement on http://careers.vic.gov.au (search for 'Computing', it's the only one that comes up at the moment) or contact me on this email address until Friday 14/6 when I go on leave.
