Research Engineer for Infrastructure in Health Data Projects (RE1/RE2) The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, and is a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe). BSC is now the hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, which leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop, and manage information technologies to facilitate scientific progress.
BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth, and engineering sciences) under one roof and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries. We are particularly interested in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favored.
Context And Mission The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and the Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB) are at the forefront of computational research and infrastructure development. Our mission is to develop cutting-edge infrastructure for ELIXIR projects and health-related research, enabling advancements in bioinformatics and computational biology. We are looking for a talented Research Engineer to join our team and contribute to these innovative projects.
