AURIN DATA ENGINEER
Position no.: 0030516
Employment type: Full-time Fixed Term
Campus: Parkville
Department of Computing and Information Systems
Melbourne School of Engineering
Salary: $76,057 - $82,331 p.a. plus 17% superannuation
The Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN) project
(www.aurin.org.au) is an exciting $20m initiative across Australia tasked with
delivering a state of the art research infrastructure supporting nationwide urban
and build environment researchers. The project will develop a core framework
(e-Infrastructure) through which a variety of urban research areas (lenses) will
be supported. Examples of the kinds of lenses that will be supported include
supporting researchers interested in health impacts of living in cities, traffic,
housing, energy and water challenges facing cities, and future city models. Many
of these challenges are based on the access to and use of a wide variety of
heterogeneous data sets from a range of data providers across Australia including
government departments such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics, to
commercial/utility companies, to research data sets from universities and a range
of other organisations. The data is itself extremely heterogeneous.
The project requires an experienced software (data) engineer who will work as part
of a core AURIN e-Infrastructure team in the Melbourne eResearch Group (MEG) at
the University of Melbourne under the leadership of Prof. Richard Sinnott. The
individual will, working closely with the AURIN technical team and the AURIN data
architect, be involved in the design, definition, implementation and support of
the AURIN data and metadata systems. This includes data access, data
processing/indexing, data linkage, metadata management and data storage. Many of
these data sets include geospatial information and the project draws heavily on
Open Geospatial Consortium standards and their implementation.
Close date: 6 January 2013
