CC*IIE Engineer: Bridging Campus IT and Research Computing at UCF

UCF设立了一个网络基础设施工程师（CI工程师）的职位，作为UCF计算机服务和电信组织与校园计算机研究社区之间的桥梁，以及与更广泛的CI工程师社区的催化剂和联系。这个新的CI工程师职位利用了UCF正在建设的研究网络。该职位通过专注于满足当前和未来研究需求的网络基础设施，扩展了UCF进行基础研究的能力。该职位的职责包括与校园IT人员密切合作，扩展UCF的研究网络和科学非军事区，扩展和执行UCF的长期网络基础设施计划，并参与其他机构不断发展的网络基础设施专业人员的更广泛社区，包括区域（通过Florida LambdaRail）和全国（通过Internet2）。此外，通过促进和参与与使用软件定义的网络和高性能研究网络的性能监控相关的研究，这项工作有助于满足校园研究的加速数据传输需求。UCF的全职网络基础设施工程师职位预计将扩大和改善教职员工、研究生研究人员和本科生在校内和校外获得高性能计算资源的机会。此外，该大学希望该CI工程师职位能够通过参与全国各地大学不断增长的CI工程师社区，帮助拓宽对研究型网络基础设施最佳实践的总体理解。

UCF has established a Cyber Infrastructure Engineer (CI Engineer) position to serve as a bridge between UCF's Computer Services & Telecommunications organization and the campus research computing community, as well as a catalyst and link to the broader community of CI Engineers. This new CI Engineer position leverages the research network that is being constructed at UCF. This position expands UCF's capability to perform basic research by focusing on cyber infrastructure dedicated to meeting current and future research needs. Responsibilities for this position include the expansion of UCF's research network and Science DMZ in close operation with campus IT staff, extension and execution of UCF's long-term Cyber-Infrastructure plan, and participation in the wider community of growing Cyber-Infrastructure professionals at other institutions, both regionally (through Florida LambdaRail) and nationally (through Internet2). Additionally, this effort helps meet the accelerating data transfer needs of campus research by facilitating and participating in research relating to the use of software defined networking and performance monitoring of high-performance research networks.UCF's full-time cyber infrastructure engineer position is expected to expand and improve access for faculty, graduate student researchers, and undergraduates to high performance computing resources, both on and off campus. Moreover, the University expects this CI Engineer position to help broaden the general understanding of best practices for research-focused cyber infrastructure by participating in the growing community of CI engineers at universities throughout the country.
