Apply for this position

The role

You sit between researchers and the machines. You will consult with principal investigators and their labs to scope computing needs; build and maintain Linux servers, workstations, and virtual machines; install and troubleshoot scientific software across Python, R, MATLAB, and C/C++; and move groups onto CARC’s HPC systems or cloud platforms when their local resources run out. You will also configure AI-assisted and agent-based tools for research computing — automation, troubleshooting, and documentation — inside real security and data-governance requirements.

What you bring

  • A bachelor’s degree and at least one year of directly related experience.
  • Linux administration (Rocky, RHEL, Ubuntu, or similar) and scripting in Bash or Python.
  • The presentation skills to make a complicated idea land with technical and non-technical researchers alike.

Preferred: HPC support, cloud provisioning, GitHub collaboration, AI-agent deployment, and experience with sensitive-data practice (CUI, FERPA).
