System Specialist Scientific Computing
PSI is building up the SwissFEL Free Electron Laser which will offer novel experimental capabilities in different areas of science. The usage of latest detector technologies at SwissFEL will put strong requirements on the computing infrastructure in terms of high data rates and volumes.
You will be responsible for helping to design and implement solutions for the experiment environments at the beamlines. By working closely together with colleagues of similar function at the PSI Swiss Light Source (SLS) you will help in running and improving the SLS beamline computing infrastructure and in the integration of new detectors.
You will be involved in the implementation and integration of new solutions for and also in the operative running of the computing infrastructure. You will interface between the SwissFEL project and the IT and control groups for IT related problems and assist the SwissFEL scientists in defining their IT requirements.
Your profile
* University degree in natural sciences or in computing with experiences in the other special field
* Good knowledge of Linux and experience in building up compute clusters
* You enjoy working in a scientific environment and on the interface between computing technology and science
* You have good communication skills
* You are fluent in English and either speak German or you are willing to learn it
* Knowledge of HPC storage technologies, multiple years of experience in running a bigger IT-Infrastructure and/or project management skills are desirable

Research Computing Administrator and Developer; Melbourne, Australia
An exciting opportunity is available to join the new ARC Centre of
Excellence for Particle Physics at the Terascale
located at the School of Physics. You will be
part of the Centre's research computing team,
supporting cutting edge research taking place as
part of the ATLAS experiment based at CERN in
Switzerland.
You will engage with the High Energy Physics distributed computing
development communities; evaluating, deploying
and contributing to software which enables
collaborative research at a distance, and which
underlies the Centre's research activities.
Remaining abreast of the developments in this
middleware and aiding in its development as
appropriate you will gain unique insight into
the function of the grid. This will act to
bolster the technical strength of the Centre's
research computing team, and aid you in
deploying and maintaining the Centre's grid site
as part of the Centre's research computing Team.
Travel opportunities are available to national and international
conferences and grid network meetings.
