Vollständige Stellenbeschreibung

sciCORE is the center of competence for scientific computing at the University of Basel, the oldest university in Switzerland and consistently ranked among the best universities in the world. The University is highly research-oriented, with particular strengths in life sciences and medicine, as well as growing strategic focus areas in data science and artificial intelligence. sciCORE provides advanced infrastructure and expert services for data- and compute-intensive research, including high-performance computing, scientific data processing and storage, secure research data environments, consulting, and training. Our work supports a community of over 2000 researchers across disciplines and connects large-scale technical infrastructure with sensitive data environments, national and international research initiatives, and close collaboration with university and external partners.

To strengthen the security of our research computing environments, we invite applications for an IT Security Engineer, 80–100%. The position is embedded within sciCORE and works closely with the Systems Team, the Head of sciCORE, university security bodies, and external partners such as the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN/BioMedIT), and the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB).

At sciCORE, you will be part of a highly motivated and collaborative team of specialists, including systems administrators, scientific software engineers, data infrastructure managers, data analysts, and research-support professionals. You will contribute to enabling cutting-edge research by helping ensure that our infrastructure, services, and workflows are secure, reliable, auditable, and aligned with data protection and compliance requirements.

Your position

Act as the primary security subject matter expert for sciCORE infrastructures and research-support services
Contribute proactively to the secure architecture and operation of sciCORE services, including security-related tools, HPC systems, web applications, trusted research environments (sciCORE+), networking and related tools, identity and access management, shared filesystems, data-transfer services, and scientific software environments
Perform risk assessments and security reviews for new services, research projects, infrastructure changes, and external collaborations
Translate security requirements into practical, researcher-friendly solutions that preserve scientific usability while managing institutional and technical risk
Align technical security measures with data classification, data protection requirements, institutional policies, and relevant security frameworks
Identify and address security gaps in sciCORE systems by monitoring current threats, reviewing vulnerabilities and configurations, and validating the effectiveness of security controls
Conduct and review vulnerability scans, hardening assessments, configuration checks, access-control reviews, and other security-control validations
Maintain and improve security practices, policies, procedures, technical documentation, and audit evidence for sciCORE environments
Support secure identity and access management practices, including user and project access lifecycles, SSH key and MFA policies, privileged access, service-account governance, and periodic access reviews
Collaborate closely with the Systems Team, the Head of sciCORE, university security bodies, researchers, and external partners on security-related projects and operational security topics
Advise researchers and internal service teams on secure implementation of scientific workflows, especially where sensitive data, external collaborations, automated data transfers, cloud services, or AI/ML tools are involved
Participate in regional, national, and international research IT security communities, including working groups, conferences, and workshops

Your profile

Master's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, computational science, or equivalent professional experience
At least three years of experience in IT security, systems security, or secure infrastructure operations in Linux-based environments, preferably in research computing, HPC, cloud, large-scale storage, or web-application environments
Strong practical experience with core IT security processes, including risk assessment, vulnerability management, system hardening, logging, monitoring, auditing, control validation, penetration testing and evidence collection, and technical documentation
Familiarity with networking technologies and architectures (VLANs, DMZ, firewall management) and virtual environments
Experience with identity and access management in complex environments, including SSH, MFA, service accounts, privileged access, group- or project-based access controls, and access reviews
Familiarity with implementation of security frameworks and compliance-oriented security controls, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001, considering data classification and data protection regulations, and audit requirements
Experience with automation and reproducible infrastructure practices, including infrastructure as code, version control, configuration management, shell scripting, and Python
Ability to write clear technical documentation, reports, and audit-oriented evidence for technical and non-technical audiences
Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical peers, researchers, management, institutional security teams, SOCs, and external partners
High level of integrity, reliability, discretion, and accountability

Additional desirable qualifications

Practical understanding of HPC or research computing environments, including multi-user systems, batch schedulers, shared file systems, scientific workflows, data-transfer services, and their specific security challenges
Familiarity with software supply-chain security, including package managers, software container images, dependency risks, code provenance, vulnerability scanning, and reproducible deployment practices
Understanding of backup, recovery, and ransomware-resilience concepts in large-scale Linux and storage environments
Ability to understand and adapt code, queries, or configuration in other languages commonly encountered in research computing environments
Knowledge of the rapidly evolving AI/LLM landscape
Working knowledge of Windows and macOS

We offer you

An essential role securing research infrastructure at the University of Basel
The opportunity to work at the interface of high-performance computing, sensitive research data, cybersecurity, and scientific innovation
A collaborative and interdisciplinary working environment with highly qualified technical and scientific colleagues
The opportunity to shape security practices for a complex academic research computing environment
Close collaboration with university security bodies, national research infrastructure initiatives, and external security communities
Support for your professional development through training, continuing education, and participation in relevant conferences, workshops, and professional networks
