If you are excited about distributed systems, exabyte-scale data, and the future of distributed computing, this is the place for you.

You will be working on scientific data management technologies (Rucio, FTS, …). Rucio is the facto data management platform in HEP and other sciences, managing over one exabyte of data across hundreds of data centers worldwide.

Computing power needs are evolving, especially for the HL-LHC, and researchers are increasingly relying on massive supercomputers and their capacity to run computations and AI workflows.

To support this, Rucio is expected to act as a bridge between our distributed data systems and these remote supercomputers, ensuring datasets are moved seamlessly to where the heavy processing happens, and results flow back to the scientific community.

Be sure to meet the eligibility criteria

• You are a national of a CERN Member State or Associate Member State. Currently, we cannot consider applications from Pakistani, Lithuanian, Latvian, Cypriot and Croatian nationals, as the ceiling defined under Article II.5 of the Associate Membership Agreement has been reached.
• By the application deadline, you have a maximum of 2 years of professional experience since graduation in the respective field and your highest educational qualification is either a bachelor’s or master’s degree. You must have a university degree and can’t hold a PhD.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
• Please pay attention to the additional criteria and requirements for this specific position and mentioned above.
