Please apply at: http://jobs.ucsd.edu/bulletin/job.aspx?jobnum_in=63636

As a senior member of the San Diego Supercomputer Center's (SDSC) Science Research and Development Division, the Workflow Specialist will independently develop workflows, new features, actors and directors within the Kepler scientific workflow system. In collaboration with the national and international research communities and e-Science programs, develop Cyberinfrastructure tools for well-known domain scientists. Consult with the other members of the Scientific Workflow Automation Technologies (SWAT) Lab at SDSC and the Kepler team to develop and  document actors and features for the Kepler scientific workflow system, specification and implementation of scientific workflows in various scientific research applications including, but not limited to: NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative Cyberinfrastructure (OOI CI) project, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation-funded CAMERA project, NSF-funded CDI DISCOSci project and NSF-funded ABI bioKepler project. 
The specific Kepler deliverables that are in the scope of this position are distributed workflow execution, data and workflow provenance, and new workflow design techniques. Apply state-of-the-art software and algorithms, both acquired externally and developed internally. Design and implement solutions that are optimized for a highly distributed, heterogeneous network, and solving complex design and integration problems affecting many developers and users. Independently assess and select technology approaches and produce solutions that are acceptable to other developers of the system, that are appropriate to the CI requirements of the assigned projects, and that meet the needs for system integrity, recoverability, controls, performance, and reliability. Design systems to meet stakeholder requirements; develop prototypes to clarify user expectations; write software and interface specifications; develop software in multiple programming languages, primarily Java; integrates complex, externally acquired subsystem technologies; and conduct unit, functional and quality testing. In addition, develop UML and use case diagrams for specifying, documenting and communicating the structure and intent of the software systems under development. This position evaluates co-workers code and leads and trains more junior developers.
