The Linear Accelerator Laboratory (LAL) seeks a software
architect in research and development.
Employer description
The Linear Accelerator Laboratory (LAL) is a high-energy physics laboratory
of the IN2P3 French institute. LAL focuses its research on particles’ physics
that is to say their mutual interactions and their mass’ origin.
In the framework of its research and R&D works, the laboratory is implicated
strongly in several international projects on different technical levels from
mechanic to electronic including computing sciences.
Context
For more than 8 years, LAL contributed to computing grid technologies
through international projects. Within the framework of an European project,
LAL takes new responsibilities and is currently recruiting new collaborators for
a 24-month full time contract based in Orsay (Ile-de-France/Essone).
