The Opportunity

• Dynamic & engaging work environment

• Join a diverse and inclusive team with strong focus on continuous learning

The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre (Pawsey) is a tier-1 high-performance computing facility accelerating scientific discoveries for Australia’s researchers. Located in Perth, Western Australia, Pawsey is currently serving scientists across the nation in domains such as radio astronomy, energy and resources, engineering, bioinformatics and health sciences.  Pawsey supports Australia's commitment to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and Australian pathfinder projects (ASKAP and MWA).

The Centre is managed through a long-standing and successful unincorporated joint venture of the CSIRO, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia, and supported by funding from the Western Australian and Federal governments.

Pawsey has recently announced its new supercomputer as part of the biggest upgrade to the infrastructure since the centre opened in 2009. The new supercomputer will deliver up to 50 petaFLOPs, or 30 times more compute power than its predecessor systems Magnus and Galaxy, to help power the future high-impact Australian research projects. The upgrade will also include the deployment of large-scale object storage for scientific data. Pawsey is also involved in multiple future technology evaluation projects including quantum computing. https://pawsey.org.au/about-us/capital-refresh/
