[Swlug] HPC Systems Engineer position - Cardiff Uni / genetics / metal health

[Mark Einon]

Hello All,

I'm posting to let you know of a position currently being advertised
in my team at the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics
(MRC CNGG), which brings together world-leading researchers to
investigate the major causes of mental health problems.

http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/mrc-centre-neuropsychiatric-genetics-genomics

Full details for the Systems Engineer position are available from the
link:

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BOW262/systems-engineer

The initial description is copied below for convenience.

As a systems engineer, the role involves both software development and
systems administration, but significant experience of both these
fields is not essential - we're be more than interested to hear from
applicants who are strong in one area and happy to gain experience in
the other.

Some Linux technologies we currently use are: ansible, python,
gluster, bash, SGE/Slurm, git and R.

* Closing date: 1st January 2019
* Salary range: £33,199 to £39,609 per annum (Grade 6) 
* 35 hours/week, 37 days holiday + up to 18% employer pension
contribution, details at: http://bit.ly/2obbDX3

Prior to applying, informal enquiries and questions may be directed at
myself via EinonM at cardiff.ac.uk


Many thanks,

Mark

Based in the University’s flagship Hadyn Ellis Building, you will be
part of a team of 3 people responsible for supporting the cutting-edge
research carried out by the Division and the MRC Centre for
Neuropsychiatric Generics and Genomics. In particular, you will focus
on bioinformatics and genetic sequencing research with the provision
of High Performance Computing (HPC), UNIX/Linux and associated
expertise.

You should be able to demonstrate significant experience and skills in
Linux system administration, including fluency in Bash, experience of
provisioning tools such as Ansible, monitoring tools such as Ganglia,
version control with Git in addition to Linux based programming and
debugging skills. Knowledge in the use of free and open source tools
and techniques is also essential as is experience in the design of
web-based systems and associated techniques and interfaces.

Your technical skills should be matched by your proven ability to
communicate complex technical issues clearly, professionally and in a
way which can be understood by a wide range of people. A highly
organised and flexible approach to work is required and experience in
free and open source software development will be highly desirable.
