The Research Computing Applications & Data Specialist III will lead the technical aspects of Research Computing services and service components related to consulting, training, scientific application package support, and the development, porting, and optimization of research computing software focused on computational neuroscience, neuroimaging, neuro-engineering, and synthetic biology.

Serve as the primary support contact for faculty and graduate students working in the above areas particularly those located in the Center for Integrated LifeSciences and Engineering (CILSE) on complex projects and issues which require in-depth knowledge of the multiple technical areas, as well as the core computational research tools which they utilize.

Work directly with faculty and other academic stakeholders to assess needs and recommend solutions as a representative of the Research Computing team.

Coordinate with Desktop Support and other IS&T groups to ensure the most efficient and effective solutions to researcher computing needs.
