Position Overview
CERIC-ERIC is an open multidisciplinary Research Infrastructure for basic and
applied research in the fields of Materials, Biomaterials and Nanotechnology.
With a single entry point to excellent facilities mostly in Central and
Eastern Europe, it allows structural investigation, analysis and synthesis of
materials, using photon, electron, neutron and ion based techniques. It
enables the delivery of innovative solutions to societal challenges in the
fields of energy, health, food, cultural heritage and more.
In the ERA (European Research Area) of Open Science, research
infrastructures and communities are now changing their scientific data
practices and data governance models to adopt and implement FAIR Data
principles ( F indable, A ccessible, I nteroperable and R
eusable). CERIC has the ambition make all data from the experiments performed
by users FAIR and open.
Required skills and experience
The Software Engineer Data Operations will be working together with CERIC ERIC
IT Team and the IT/Software groups of CERIC ERIC partner facilities to support
