The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) develops and operates a high-performance computing and data research infrastructure that supports world-class science in Switzerland. Its user laboratory is available to domestic and international researchers in academia, industry, and the business sector. The centre is operated by ETH Zurich and has offices at its data centre in Lugano and in Zurich.
As high-performance computing, AI, and cloud technologies continue to converge, CSCS is redefining how to design and deliver advanced computational services. Modern scientific and engineering workloads are complex, data-intensive, and highly diverse, pushing existing infrastructure to its limits. This position is funded via the Helvetic AI Resources, Technologies, and Services (HEARTS) project, and is based on a two-year contract, which can be extended or potentially become permanent.
