Cyberinfrastructure Coordinator

Office of Technology Services, Tennessee State University

From Tennessee State University: 

Tennessee State University is searching for a Cyberinfrastructure Coordinator for the Nashville HBCU CI Collaborative, a chartered partnership between four local HBCUs in the area: Tennessee State University, American Baptist College, Meharry Medical College, and Fisk University. This position is grant funded and is contingent upon continued funding.

Position Summary:

The CI Coordinator will build relationships with campus representatives of the Collaborative, and with campus researchers and educators, to understand their current and potential use of information technology resources for computing- and data-intensive curricula and research (known as “cyberinfrastructure”). The CI Coordinator will also provide program management support and oversee the strategic planning process for the individual institutions and the Collaborative as a whole. In doing so, the Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Coordinator will support strategic decision-making conversations toward the development of campus-specific and Collaborative plans to advance CI capabilities. This position will play a critical role in working closely with faculty and staff at the campuses to identify CI solutions and learning resources that advance their research and education priorities.

All four institutions within the Nashville HBCU CI Collaborative are members of the Minority Serving Cyberinfrastructure Consortium (MS-CC), supporting this regional collaboration under a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). This “Proof-of-Concept Grant” (PoCG) is aimed at illustrating collaboration among multiple campuses in the same geographic area around computing, data, and software for research and education. The now chartered arrangement between the four institutions will guide the collaboration and set the stage for continued work together.
