Closing Date: Sunday 2nd June 2024
Background:
STFC Scientific Computing provides large-scale computing facilities and data services at Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. The expertise Scientific Computing brings in scientific software, and data and computation infrastructure, underpins science innovation across STFC and UKRI.
Scientific Computing has significant and expanding programme of delivering Data Infrastructure solutions to research communities in within the UK academic sector. It leads two programmes: DAFNI (Data and Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure) serving the Infrastructure Engineering and Environmental science community; and the Physical Science Data Infrastructure, serving the Chemical and Materials sciences. Both of these aim to deliver advanced Data Infrastructure services to their research communities to provide the essential computing needed by modern data intensive science.

As the programmes evolve, the Delivery Managers should work with the programme leadership to adapt and extend the project plans.
