Job Description
Your responsibilities
Are you software engineer interested in data science and physics or a physicist or data scientist specialising in software development Do you like to craft robust and performant software components at the heart of large scientific software stacks
We at ROOT are convinced that using C for performant algorithms and Python for ergonomic user interface is a futureproof approach to scientific data analysis. Join the ROOT team to become an R & D developer on ROOTs C to Python interoperability today supported by the CERN EP R & D program. In particular you will:
- Update ROOTs Python bindings to build on top of newest LLVM/Clang technology to unlock new features.

About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds 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 .
Diversity has been an integral part of CERNs mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
