The position requires excellent communication skills, the ability to work within a team and juggle many simultaneous projects, and a can-do attitude. For candidates interested in research, the opportunity exists for extended collaboration with researchers up to 20% time. This position involves consulting with and advising users of the YCRC's services, who have a wide range of research interests and computational abilities (including faculty, postdocs, and graduate students). Yale is undertaking a major effort in Artificial Intelligence, both in terms of fundamental research as well as applications of AI. Accordingly, the YCRC expects to dramatically expand the necessary resources, in particular the latest GPUs. These initiatives and researchers will be a focus for this position. The YCRC supports the entire University, including the Yale School of Medicine and the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and encompasses Yale's High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters with more than 40,000 cores, multiple petabytes of high-performance storage, and technologies for computational science and the analysis, sharing, and management of large-scale research data. The successful candidate for this position will report to the Center's Director of Arts & Sciences Research Computing. The Yale Center for Research Computing is a component of the Provost's Office, and is governed jointly by the Vice Provost for Research, the Deputy Dean(s) for Research at the Yale School of Medicine, and the University Vice President for Technology and Campus Services.</p> <p>Required Skills and Abilities</p> <ol> <li> <p>Extensive ability working in Linux environment.</p> </li><li> <p>Mastery of programming in at least one language such as Python or C.</p> </li><li> <p>Knowledge of software building and installation: e.g. make, autoconf, etc.</p> </li><li> <p>Self-starter.
