Work with the scientific community, formally, by continuing to develop the existing governance structures, and informally, to provide process for allocation of research computing platform resources (storage and compute), so that existing resources are effectively distributed and a forecast of future requirements is developed.

Continued development of the strategy for sustainable growth of the Crick’s scientific computing platforms. Develop and articulate a plan for the growth of storage and compute capabilities for the 5 years, which, in addition to the research forecasts, takes into account external comparators and trends; the right mix of internal/external provision and the Crick’s funding streams.

Develop the Crick’s strategy for world class data lifecycle management technology solutions and best practices. Work with colleagues across ITO to collaboratively deliver the technology components of the strategy and with researchers to deliver a successful adoption of the underpinning practices that are necessary to its successful implementation.

Take the lead in developing a strategy for business continuioty and disaster recovery of the scientific data and systems, ensuring that it reflects the needs of researchers. Develop evaluated options for presentation to researchers and Crick senior management.

Liaise with external groups to develop and/or leverage shared infrastructure for the benefit of Crick researchers and wider collaborations.

Work with researchers to explore the use and articulate the value of new technology to store, analyse and present data.

Provide support to researchers in their use and development of programmes and algorithms to analyse data, by provision of expertise to support Scientific Computing.

As a commissioner of systems, develop strong relationships with the Infrastructure and Helpdesk team in order to jointly deliver solutions for the Institute.

Recruit, maintain and motivate team members, to continue to develop a culture of professional excellence across your teams.

Use the Crick’s project and PMO approaches to support the effective and transparent delivery of projects.

An understanding of scientific research processes, especially in bioinformatics, and their IT requirements.

Expertise in data lifecycle management technology, particularly for big data such as image data and gene sequences.

Familiarity with scientific applications such as CryoSPARC and Alphafold, and programming languages like R and Python.

Experience managing teams to support large compute clusters and high-performance cluster file systems, with knowledge of technologies like Infiniband and job distribution systems.

Appreciation of general IT services such as identity and access management, databases, web applications, and networking technologies.

Awareness of enterprise Linux/macOS/Windows environments, virtualisation technologies such as vmware and oVirt, and public and private cloud platforms like AWS and OpenStack, and container technologies such as Kubernetes and Singularity.
