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.
Introduction
Work with us to develop the future of data analysis, processing, machine learning and statistical interpretation of HEP data at CERN in the ROOT project, taking advantage of hardware accelerators. Join CERN’s SFT group in the Experimental Physics Department as an applied Physicist for a unique challenge as the next step in your career. CERN, take part!
The CERN EP-SFT Group, the common software development unit of the Experimental Physics Department, is leading the development of ROOT, an open-source framework for storing, processing, analysing and visualising of data at Exabyte scale. ROOT is a large scientific code base and an open-source project, at the heart of the software stacks of LHC experiments. Its development is collaborative, driven by collaborators from all around the world and CERN, based on code reviews, continuous integration as well as well-planned issue-based work.
