Applications consisting of a supporting statement, a curriculum vitae, and a completed PD18 form, including the details of two referees (who may be consulted before interview) should be sent to the Secretary of the Department (Administration and Personnel) by 11 July.

Applications are invited for the post of Director of the Cambridge-Cranfield High Performance Computing Facility (CCHPCF). The post will be based in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. CCHPCF is a collaborative research resource, delivering high performance capability computing across all Schools and Departments in the Universities of Cambridge and Cranfield.
The Director will be responsible for the management and development of the Facility's Cambridge site and will be assisted by a part-time Administrator and at least two Systems Managers. The Director will expand the user base, both within the University of Cambridge and externally, and will enable the Facility to become financially self-sustaining after three years.
The recurrent costs budget is currently £400,000 a year and a bid for substantial SRIF funding this year has been prepared to replace equipment. The life expectancy of the equipment is generally three years, and development of a strategy for on-going technology refreshment is a key part of the role. The Director will need to combine good technical knowledge of current HPC technologies and applications with experience of their use in research, preferably across more than one discipline, and their relevance to the computational needs of all disciplines across the University.
A postgraduate qualification (or equivalent experience) is required, together with several years' research or managerial experience in HPC-related areas.
The Director should demonstrate the ability to develop and articulate strategic directions for HPC, both within the University and to other HEI institutions and HPC user groups.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential, as is the ability to unite various stakeholders across the University at every level of the organization. Awareness of HEI funding strategies (e.g. Full Economic Costing) and their implications for research would be an advantage.
Appointment will be for a fixed term of three years. The pensionable stipend is currently £44,094 a year. For further discussion about the post and CCHPCF contact Professor Ron Horgan (e-mail R.R.Horgan@damtp.cam.ac.uk).
For further particulars please contact Liz Hewitt (e-mail l.hewitt@damtp.cam.ac.uk). The CCHPCF website can be found at http://www.hpcf.cam.ac.uk/.
Applications, including a covering letter, a curriculum vitae, and a completed PD18 form, together with the contact details of three referees should be sent to l.hewitt@damtp.cam.ac.uk by 30 June.
