The CUNY Graduate Center currently supports three Technology Fellowship recipients, who assist with the operation, management and design of the grid and with specialized applications. The Technology Fellows also serve as technical liaisons between the Graduate Center and grid users at the various sites. Research groups may recommend their doctoral students for these fellowships. Contact Dr. Florian Lengyel (flengyel@gc.cuny.edu), Assistant Director for Research Computing or Dr. Steve Brier (sbrier@gc.cuny.edu), Vice president for Information Technology and External Programs for further information.
The Technology Fellowship is for a two-year period for $22,775 per year; the allocation per semester is 15 hours of work per week for 15 weeks (225 hours/semester for two semesters a year); the summer months are not covered.
The primary responsibility is system administration of the Linux computational clusters here at the Graduate Center. These connect via VPN to two other clusters, one at the City College of New York, and one at the College of Staten Island. There are now three LAMP web sites (LAMP is an acronym for Linux Apache MySQL PHP/PERL/Python) on one server that need occasional maintenance; a new server with additional sites will be added.
