A new and exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and highly motivated HPC Systems Administrator to join the Advanced Computing Research Centre as part of the newly-funded GW4 Facility for High Resolution Cryo-EM (Electron Microscopy).
The Advanced Computing Research Centre (ACRC) develops and manages advanced computing solutions for the University of Bristol’s research community.
