Mission

Founded in 1991, CSCS, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, develops and provides the key supercomputing capabilities required to solve important problems to science and/or society. The centre enables world-class research with a scientific user lab that is available to domestic and international researchers through a transparent, peer-reviewed allocation process.

Careers

Join us, and become part of the CSCS team. We are an equal opportunity employer and provide a very international and inclusive working environment. Thanks to the small size of the operation there is strong team cohesion and employees are often granted opportunities and encouraged to develop into areas beyond their job description.
