Jobbeschreibung

The CERN IT Storage and Data Management group (IT-SD) operates the core services used by LHC and non-LHC experiments to store and manage their data, to enable data archival, reconstruction and analysis and to distribute them to archiving and computing facilities around the world (Worldwide LHC Computing Grid). The group also contributes to data management services operated in the LHC experiments.

As successful candidate you will work on Rucio, which is an open source data management platform that has been adopted by two major LHC experiments at CERN (ATLAS and CMS) and also by a handful of Small and Medium Experiments (SHiP, AMS02).

Specifically, you will work on a project that allows better integration between Rucio and the services provided by the CERN IT department, in particular, you will work on the implementation and operation of the Rucio Open Data interfaces. Open Data is part of CERN’s Open Science mission to make research data publicly available and to empower citizens around the world to explore data produced by the LHC.
