[BBLISA-jobs] HPC systems administration opportunities at the Broad Institute

[Matthew Trunnell Ec-2]

We presently have two openings on the Research Computing operations team 
at the Broad Institute (www.broadinstitute.org). You can find them both 
described at https://www.broadinstitute.org/careers/career-center 
(search for "administrator").

The first, req #21, is a junior to mid-level position focused on 
supporting our storage infrastructure. We are presently growing by 
several PB/year; the latest projections call for up to 8PB of new 
storage next year. We have a number of NetApp filers, three large Isilon 
storage clusters, more Sun thumpers than I care to count, and a couple 
of the new "amber road" storage clusters out of the Sun Fishworks group. 
We are constantly evaluating new storage technologies, and wrestling 
with issues of data management and data protection at large scale.

The second position, req #46, is a more senior level position with 
primary responsibility for operation of our large and growing compute 
farms (LSF, SGE) and the few hundred individual Linux servers serving 
special-purpose duty, such as database servers, large-memory compute 
servers, and individual app. servers.

The Broad is (or will be, as of next Wednesday) an independent, 
not-for-profit biomedical research institute located in Kendall Square 
and associated with MIT, Harvard, and the 14 Harvard teaching hospitals. 
We presently have about 1000 employees and several hundred affiliate 
members in the Boston area, and are focused on the large-scale 
generation and analysis of data.

This is an excellent place to work for those that like large-scale 
research computing in an academic environment, especially if you have 
even a passing interest in the world of biology.

If this sounds like fun, I invite you to apply via the web site. If you 
run into any difficulties in applying as the Broad transitions away from 
MIT next week, feel free to contact me.

Principals only; no recruiters.

Best regards,
