EPCC is offering the opportunity to join our team for a one-year System Administration internship.
EPCC is the UK’s leading centre for Supercomputing and Data Science service provision. We host and manage a unique collection of leading-edge systems such as the UK’s national supercomputing service (ARCHER2) and the Edinburgh International Data Facility (EIDF) and have been selected to host the UK’s first Exascale computer. We provide researchers and industry with a range of services including high performance computing, AI-capable GPU and Cerebras wafer-scale clusters and highly secure data storage and analysis capability for trusted research environments.
Our interns join the small and friendly Systems team within EPCC that provides infrastructure deployment and support, system administration, cybersecurity and operations functions for the systems hosted at the University of Edinburgh's Advanced Computing Facility (ACF), a secure state-of-the-art facility located at the Bush Estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh.

Drive to independently follow tasks through to successful completion, while responding positively to changes in priorities.
Interested in learning and applying specialist skills to solve technically complex problems and generate innovative solutions to operational and development challenges.
Excellent communication, collaborative and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including technical, academic and research colleagues.
