The ideal candidate will also have:

 - advanced programming skills with C++ or Python languages

 - experience with data analysis in high energy physics

 - experience with high energy physics detector operations or construction

 - the capability for effective scientific communication

The position is available to start in January 2022, and is for one year initially, with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and the availability of funding.

The position is preferred to be based at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland.
