Research Computing System Manager
Applied Physics Laboratory / University of Washington
The Applied Physics Laboratory is seeking a computer professional to manage
and develop a multiple VAX/UNIX system supporting scientists, engineers, and
administrative personnel engaged in research in the general field of
underwater acoustics measurements, modeling, and large-scale computer
simulations. The system presently consists of two DEC VAX 11/750's running
UNIX 4.1 bsd, under DEC maintenance. "DISSPLA" and the IEEE software package
are in wide use. Budget is approximately $300,000/year. Growth is vigorous;
plans for growth include local-area network, laser printer/plotter, and a
seagoing data acquisition and analysis system.
1. Help individual researchers to apply UNIX tools in the design of
specific phases of research projects and in the analysis of results.
2. Participate in development of computer-based systems, and their
in-field testing.
3. Play lead role in planning enhancement of the computing tools
available to the research activities of the Laboratory.
4. Opportunity to develop small computer R. and D. effort.
5. Determine usage patterns and plan hardware and software
configurations to meet evolving needs.
6. Purchase hardware and software.
7. Supervise assistant system manager and part-time systems programmer.
Supervise training of selected staff in C programming, UNIX
utilities, and the kernel.
8. Coordinate maintenance by DEC and in-house personnel.
The person who will fill this job must be able to lead a group of scientists
in their computing activities. He/she should either be a researcher who finds
himself/herself managing a computer, or a computer scientist with a strong
educational background in the physical sciences and experience working with
scientists.
Educational background is therefore either
a) an advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in engineering, mathematics, or
the physical sciences, or
b) an advanced degree in computer sciences with a strong undergraduate
background in the above disciplines.
This person will also have significant experience as systems administrator or
lead systems programmer on a UNIX-based computer, ideally a VAX with Berkeley
UNIX. U.S. citizenship and eligibility for an industrial security clearance
are required.
The Applied Physics Laboratory is a division of the College of Ocean and
Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, and is located on the campus in
Seattle. Please send resume to
