The Cyber Infrastructure Engineer (CI Engineer) is a new role at NMSU. This role accelerates scientific discovery by bridging the gap between researchers, other CI professionals, and institutional leadership. This role helps researchers overcome technical barriers in areas like data acquisition, network throughput, computational analysis, software management, and the storage/retrieval of research data. To create sustainable and scalable solutions, the CI Engineer leverages two central IT divisions (Networking and Computer Systems), and also partners with faculty and graduate students within the various research projects. These partnerships increase scientific computing skills across campus. The CI Engineer role reports directly to the Chief Information Officer who has established a greater priority for CI to support research at NMSU. Additionally this new role is also uniquely positioned to give voice to research priorities within the broader University IT Governance process.NMSU's Cyber Infrastructure Engineer role is expected to expand and improve CI solutions for faculty researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates. This includes greater access to high performance computing, open science grid computing, high throughput networks, and better data storage/retrieval systems. CI solutions both on and off campus will be used to accelerate scientific discovery. Moreover, the University expects the CI Engineer 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, and sharing CI solutions with other education institutions in New Mexico.

网络基础设施工程师（CI工程师）是NMSU的一个新角色。这一角色通过弥合研究人员、其他CI专业人员和机构领导之间的差距来加速科学发现。这个角色帮助研究人员克服数据采集，网络吞吐量，计算分析，软件管理和研究数据的存储/检索等领域的技术障碍。为了创建可持续和可扩展的解决方案，CI工程师利用两个中央IT部门（网络和计算机系统），并与教师和研究生在各种研究项目中合作。这些伙伴关系提高了整个校园的科学计算技能。CI工程师角色直接向首席信息官报告，首席信息官已经为CI建立了更高的优先级，以支持NMSU的研究。此外，这一新的角色也是独特的定位，让声音在更广泛的大学IT治理过程中的研究优先事项。NMSU的网络基础设施工程师的作用，预计将扩大和改善CI解决方案的教师研究人员，研究生和本科生。这包括更多地使用高性能计算、开放科学网格计算、高吞吐量网络和更好的数据存储/检索系统。校园内外的CI解决方案将用于加速科学发现。此外，该大学希望CI工程师通过参与全国各地大学不断增长的CI工程师社区，并与新墨西哥州的其他教育机构分享CI解决方案，帮助扩大对以研究为重点的网络基础设施最佳实践的普遍理解。
