EPCC, the University of Edinburgh’s renowned High-Performance Computing and Data Analytics centre, is expanding its staff of Software Engineers and Data Scientists, with an emphasis on delivering data science services utilising machine learning and DevOps approaches. Since 2015, EPCC has managed the sophisticated infrastructure that support the Scottish National Safe Haven, a safe environment for public-benefit research involving sensitive data. Throughout the epidemic, we were instrumental in the processing of COVID-19 research across the UK.

Building on our previous success, we are expanding our Safe Haven Services as part of the Edinburgh International Data Facility (EIDF) (https://www.ed.ac.uk/edinburgh-international-data-facility) at our Advanced Computing Facility.

EIDF will enable new “Trusted Research Environments” and increase Safe Haven capabilities, such as next-generation GPU clusters, huge memory systems, virtualization services, and multi-petabyte-scale storage services. This is to fund research in health, government, finance, and other areas at universities in Scotland and the United Kingdom.

This infrastructure, together with data science software stacks developed in collaboration with software engineers and collaborative research partners, underpins Edinburgh’s aspiration to become Europe’s data capital.

We’d love to hear from you if you have talents in some of our major areas and want to work at one of Europe’s best High-Performance Computing centres during this exciting period.

We’re searching for:

• Team members from Software Engineering and Data Science will deliver and support new services and technologies.

• People who can communicate with users of services and software to provide results that meet their needs.
• People who can produce well-documented ideas and implementations of software, data pipelines, and analytics.
• People who understand information security and governance, as EPCC must fulfil globally known ISO accreditation criteria in order to continue providing secure “Trusted Research Environments.”
