System administration and support (part-time/consulting)
The Computation and Biology research group at MIT, led by Prof. Bonnie
Berger (MIT Math and CSAIL), is looking for part-time/consulting
assistance in maintaining and managing the research group's computing
infrastructure, which comprises five 48-64 core compute servers (one
more to come soon), three Nvidia GPU servers (one more to come soon),
and three storage nodes providing approx 80TB of storage.

Job Description:
On a regular basis:
   a) maintenance and troubleshooting of storage, compute, and GPU servers.
   b) responding to student and researcher sysadmin-related requests

On an occasional basis (1-2 times per year)
   c) installing a new server and bringing it online.

Time Commitment: On a steady-state basis, the expected work is ~10-20
hrs/month. However, there will be some heavy work initially (and
occasionally) as new storage and GPU nodes are brought online.

Skills required: you should be very comfortable with system
administration tasks in an Ubuntu Linux environment, be knowledgeable
about NFS-based storage solutions and be familiar with Nvidia GPU
setups. Experience working with academic computing setups is a plus
but not required.

Compensation: we are open to a variety of compensation and engagement
structures: hourly rates, or a fixed-rate (per month) engagement, or a
combination of the two.
