Description
The Office of Information Technology at CU Boulder encourages applications for a Research Computing Storage Administrator! This role supports the PetaLibrary research data storage service and the storage components of CURC’s HPC and condo compute clusters. That currently means Alpine and Blanca, including the high-performance parallel scratch filesystem shared across those systems (/scratch/alpine, backed by GPFS). This position works in collaboration with other administrators on the Research Computing team and receives technical guidance from senior storage staff.
The position contributes to the reliability, performance, and recoverability of research data at petabyte scale. As federal requirements applicable to research data continue to develop, this position supports storage-side compliance activity, including evidence collection, access review, and configuration records.CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. We are committed to creating a workplace where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, and we encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.
