  • Manager High Performance Computing position at New York Genome Center

    The Manager, High Performance Computing will be responsible for the high performance computing and data storage environment for NYGC. The primary responsibilities are to maintain and support a batch computing cluster and a data storage environment. This individual will be the first member of what will expand into a full research computing team and will be responsible for a considerable variety of tasks as NYGC moves from initial operations in early 2012 into full production by the end of the year.

    To apply for this position please email a resume and cover letter to [email protected].

    Job Responsibilities:
    -Configure and support a heterogeneous batch compute cluster of approximately 1,000 CPU cores;
    -Configure and support scientific data storage totaling approximately 1PB;
    -Configure and support network devices required by the cluster and storage;
    -Create written documentation for operational and usage procedures;
    -Install and configure genomics and bioinformatics applications;
    -Work closely with bioinformatics staff to ensure that the system is both useable and useful;
    -Develop and maintain an initial cloud computing system and ensure HPC capabilities are robust throughout the transition from a fully cloud-based system to a system combining on-site computing, off-site data storage, and burst cloud capacity;
    -Perform regular benchmarking and performance measurement;
    -Participate in hardware and software lifecycle planning, including recommending hardware and software purchases; work with NYGC leadership team to make decisions regarding vendor selection and management;
    -Collaborate with other internal and external information technology consultants and advisors.

    Position Requirements:
    -At least 5 years experience in high performance and cluster computing for scientific applications;
    -At least 5 years experience in Unix / Linux system administration;
    -Knowledgeable about batch queuing environments including Sun Grid Engine and LSF;
    -Excellent Unix / Linux scripting skills for data motion and process automation;
    -A high tolerance for change will be beneficial as NYGC is in start-up mode and the environment will morph rapidly;
    -Willingness and ability to make recommendations and participate in decision-making;
    -Excellent written and verbal communication skills required.

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
