Penn States seeks experienced systems engineer to build new biomedical computation infrastructure
The new initiative in Biomedical Computation at Penn State is seeking a senior systems engineer to design, build, and maintain an infrastructure for supporting biomedical research at PSU. This new effort builds upon existing world class projects at PSU including Galaxy (http://www.galaxyproject.org) and BioStar (http://www.biostars.org) and will actively involve renowned biomedical researchers within centers for Comparative, Medical, and Systems Genomics.
The goal of project is to successfully implement scalable and sustainable platform for data-driven biology that will set the standard nationwide. The successful candidate will be actively involved in all aspects of the effort including interfacing with the international scientific community and attending national and international meetings and workshops. This position comes with highly competitive compensation package and hardware acquisition funds and does not depend on grant funding.
Successful candidates should possess experience in architecting and maintaining complex distributed heterogeneous UNIX-based computational environments. Experience with Linux, Solaris and derivatives, and FreeBSD are highly valued.
The candidate should be comfortable working with distributed computing technologies such as Kerberos, LDAP, configuration management tools, disk filesystems such as ZFS and Btrfs, and network filesystems such as AFS, Ceph, and NFS. Experience with HPC filesystems such as Lustre and GPFS would also be valued.
Attractive candidates would have a good understanding of object storage systems, petabyte-scale data management and the cloud computing model. Additionally, candidates should possess basic systems programming experience, e.g. with shell and other scripting language, as well as an ability to hack on OS components in C.
This position typically requires five years of work related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
