Job Summary

This role involves working as a Postdoctoral Researcher focusing on implementing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data management principles for local particle physics experiments at DESY. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing large-scale experimental data using modern grid or cloud technologies, ensuring data integrity and accessibility. Key qualifications include a Ph.D. in particle physics, computer science, or a related discipline, coupled with professional experience in large-scale data handling and familiarity with metadata and FAIR principles. While not strictly required, knowledge of web application design and token-based authentication methods, as well as programming skills (Java, shell, Python), would be highly beneficial, making this a cutting-edge role at the intersection of high-energy physics and advanced data science.
