Yes. I attached a generic script, you can modify from it if you want.

##project set up by the user
GENERICNAME="Your_project_name"

## input data folder
INPUTDATAFOLDER=${HOME}/data


## cluster environment
#### shared scratch folder
SCRATCH=${HOME}/globalscracth

#### node local scratch folder
LOCALSCRATCH=${LOCALSCRATCH:-/scratch}/${USER}

## set up a unique tag suffix
JOBSUFFIX=$(date +%Y_%m_%d-%H_%M_%S-%N)-$$

## job name
JOBNAME=${GENERICNAME}-${JOBSUFFIX}


## share job working directory
JOBFOLDER=${SCRATCH}/${JOBNAME}
mkdir -p ${JOBFOLDER}

## local job working directory
LOCALJOBFOLDER=${LOCALSCRATCH}/${JOBNAME}
mkdir -p ${LOCALJOBFOLDER}

## let work on the local computer
cd ${LOCALJOBFOLDER}

## let transfert input data
cp -p ${INPUTDATAFOLDER}/*.data .

## let begin the job


## let transfert output data
mv outputdata.data ${JOBFOLDER}

## clean up the local scratch
cd ..
rm -rf ${JOBNAME}

## go home
cd

## exit
exit 0

## eos
