Mer information

Are you a motivated computing graduate interested in global scientific infrastructure? Join CERN and contribute to the Computing Resource Information Catalogue (CRIC), a topology service describing computing and storage resources across the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), which connects over 150 computing centres in 40+ countries supporting particle physics research. CRIC is a key component of the WLCG ecosystem. Built as a modular Django web platform with a plugin‑based architecture, it aggregates resource information from multiple sources and provides REST APIs and a web interface used in daily LHC computing operations.

You will join the CERN IT Computing for Experiments group and help evolve CRIC by improving its maintainability, extensibility, and operational efficiency. This is a unique opportunity to work on distributed systems supporting one of the world’s largest scientific computing infrastructures.
