HPC Cluster System Administrator

This position focuses on supporting researchers in genomics and bioinformatics through Research Computing’s partnership with the Stanford Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine (SCGPM). The SCGPM applies expertise on the science and ethics of genomics to build a new collaborative model of science focused on transforming the practice of medicine. This new paradigm of patient-centered medicine monitors the entire genome of individuals to vastly improve disease prediction, prevention, and treatment of conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, schizophrenia, and many others. This approach of genomics-based medical care requires technologically advanced laboratory and computational facilities of scales that can only be found in center settings like the SCGPM.
