Berufsbezeichnung: Science IT Consultant

Arbeitsbeschreibung:
The Service and Support for Science IT (S3IT) unit is part of the Information Technology department at the University of Zurich, with the goal of supporting research use of IT across the university. This includes consulting, research and development in scientific computing and research data management, as well as providing access to cutting edge high-performance and cloud computing infrastructures.

What you do
- Advise researchers in how they can best solve their problems looking at the ‘IT’-part of their research
- Help researchers scale existing scripts/code
- Play an active part in specialized projects which require ‘IT’ knowhow, as a developer, consultant or project manager
- Develop and roll out new services for groups or the entire University
- Expand the knowledge base within S3IT by becoming an expert in one of the ‘IT’-domains required for the job (Cloud, Scaling, ML, AI, Distributed Computing, Clusters, HPC, etc.)

How you do it
- You are an all-rounder in the eResearch team, besides your own specializations you will learn how to perform most other tasks within the team
- You prioritize your own work together with your team leader and the researchers (you will be in direct contact with the researchers, and thus receive direct feedback), within this context there is ample opportunity for experimenting with new technologies
- You will be using the right (often open source) tools for whatever challenge there is to solve, choices that were made in the past are not rules.
- If at any point you feel overwhelmed, your team-mates are there to help

Team
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of Science IT Consultants, eResearch Engineers and Developers. You will work on your own projects and tasks. The team leader will help you organize and prioritize your work.
