Company Description At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern. Job Description Introduction You will join the software development for experiments (SFT) group (http://ep-dep-sft.web.cern.ch) that develops and provides support for scientific software for the high-energy physics experiment collaborations at CERN and worldwide. The group is currently involved in an innovative programme of work to improve the performance of the simulation (Geant4) and analysis toolkits (ROOT) by exploiting the parallelism offered by modern CPU architectures and other techniques. This involves work on a number of ongoing R&D activities and later a major reengineering of existing software to be ready for the High-Luminosity LHC and the effective exploitation of Clouds and HPC computing resources. Your job will be to take a central role in maintaining and evolving the CernVM (http://cernvm.cern.ch) ecosystem, which is used by nearly all high-energy particle physics experiments world-wide as well as in many other domains, such as medical, financial and space applications. In particular you will be designing, developing and to supporting tools, technologies, and services that enable experiments to run scientific applications efficiently on globally distributed resources such as Grids, Clouds, and Supercomputers.
