The European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) is a premier research institution specializing in particle physics, where groundbreaking experiments probe the fundamental nature of matter and the universe. CERN’s innovative experiments, including the Large Hadron Collider, push the boundaries of scientific knowledge and technological development. By fostering international collaboration, CERN serves as a global hub for advancing fundamental science and exploring the universe’s deepest mysteries.
Your responsibilities
Are you a physicist or data scientist specialising in software development or a software engineer interested in data science and physics? Do you like to craft robust and performant software components at the heart of large scientific software stacks? Do you enjoy taking full advantage of multicore and heterogeneous platforms?
Join the ROOT team (https://root.cern) to become a core developer on ROOTs parallel algorithms, histogram classes and interfaces in the context of the CERN Experimental Physics Department R&D program (EP R&D), working at the heart of the LHC Run 3 data taking campaign, the preparation for the future High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and beyond!

What we offer
About us
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.
