The mission of the Scientific Data & Computing Center (SDCC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is to provide computational support for BNL scientific programs. BNL is the US extreme scientific scale Data Laboratory. The Scientific Data & Computing Center provides data services for the many scientific user facilities on the BNL site, such as the nuclear physics Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the brightest synchrotron in the world at National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS II), the Center for Functional Nanomaterials, or remote like the Atlas experiment at CERN (Switzerland), the Belle II experiment in Japan, and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program. Due to BNL's fast-growing data science research programs, the SDCC is a lively organization developing solutions and providing the necessary computing infrastructure to support BNL's science mission.

The SDCC has an opening for a Technology Analyst / Senior Technology Analyst to support the scientific computing activities in the RHIC and ATLAS programs. Within a team that manages thousands of compute and storage servers, the selected candidate will contribute to managing these systems (deployment, monitoring, resource scheduling, etc.) and will support the large data processing and computing needs at the facility. This position has a high level of interaction with an international and multicultural scientific community.
