Job Description:
As part of this team we are hiring a Systems Architect/Senior Systems Architect to assist in the development of computational infrastructure to process whole genome sequencing data in a clinical environment. The incumbent will be working with researchers at UMCCR and colleagues across the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct to understand the UMCCR’s current and future needs and help build solutions for large-scale data storage, processing and dissemination. This position works closely with a local team of software engineers and commercial partners to support the development of modern sequence analysis frameworks, deploying them locally or in a cloud-based environment. It is expected that the data manipulation and management systems will need to be scaled to match the increasing volumes of biomedical data, providing a challenging and rewarding environment for the appropriate applicant. Closing date: March 16th, 2017 Qualifications: * Postgraduate qualification in Computer Science or related discipline with relevant experience or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and education or training * A minimum of three (senior position: five) years work experience in high performance computing * Expert knowledge of UNIX server administration in an HPC setting * Proficiency with deployment tools (Puppet, Chef or similar) * Productive knowledge of one or more scripting languages (Perl/Python/Ruby, etc) * Familiarity with modern 'big data' processing components (Spark, Parquet, IPFS, etc) * (Senior position: proven experience with at least one such system)
Additional Info:
The University of Melbourne Centre for Cancer Research (UMCCR), led by Professor Sean Grimmond, has the mission to improve cancer patient outcome through genome discovery, translation and personalised medicine. It seeks to achieve this by advancing the molecular detection & diagnosis of cancer, prioritising therapeutic selection via Computational Oncology, and enabling programs in personalised cancer care. Spanning more than 5000 square meters the UMCCR provides specialist laboratories for cancer cell biology, DNA biobanking, rapid large scale, HTS sequencing and organoid generation and testing. Once fully occupied, the Centre is expected to house more than 260 researchers. It is part of the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre located in the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, an environment for more than 25 health services, academic research institutes and startups. We are building up a Genomics Platform Team to develop, test and apply accredited bioinformatics workflows to patient data and large scale research projects, evaluating new technologies at a rapid pace.
