The Illinois Applied Research Institute (ARI) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign seeks applicants for a Senior Research Engineer to collaborate with a team of Illinois researchers, system architects and other software developers on the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project led by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). The goal of this project is to conduct a 10-year survey of the sky that will deliver a 200 petabyte set of images and data products that will address some of the most pressing questions about the structure and evolution of the universe and the objects in it. The Senior Research Engineer will perform the relevant research, system architecture, system software development and testing to meet the goals of this project. This is a full-time, academic professional position that requires the ability to carry the various tasks independently and/or collaboratively.

The ARI, launched at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in late 2013, connects research across campus, engages with industry and federal clients to understand their needs, and bridges research and development gaps to bring research applications to market faster. With plans to expand across the state, the ARI is currently focused on four technical thrust areas: Critical Infrastructure, Data Science, Materials and Manufacturing, and Multi-Scale Simulation Modeling.

The ARI is comprised of over 40 staff members and has provided over 30 internship opportunities to students. With more than 30 partnerships, the ARI works closely with federal and state agencies, national labs, industry and foundations to accelerate technology transition.
