Titolo di lavoro: ANALISTA DI SISTEMA

Descrizione del lavoro:
Assignment: The successful candidate would have as a main task to develop, implement and operate, in cooperation with other participants in the ESCAPE project, the gravitational wave part of an ESFRI Science Analysis Platform (ESAP) to enhance the scientific community’s ability to access and exploit gravitational wave data and services. In particular (s)he should build, based partially on existing software, a science analysis platform that supports data discovery and integration, provides access to software and services, enables user customized processing and workflows, interfaces with the underlying distributed, large-scale computing infrastructure, and adds analytics and visualization capabilities tuned to the needs of the Gravitational Wave Antennas (GWA)  (EGO/Virgo, LIGO, KAGRA etc) and  other related ESFRI  projects, in particular those related in the multimessenger study of the Universe (e.g. CTA, KM3Net,…). The following are the main tasks and activities are foreseen during the project:
1. Data aggregation and staging. This task will provide users of the science platform with the capability to access and combine data from multiple collections of GWA data and stage that data for subsequent analysis. 
2. Software deployment and virtualization. A key component will be the availability of readily accessible versions of the codes, tools, scripts, and packages developed by GWAs and their communities. It will  include  work on the containerization of software, provenance and versioning metadata, and specifically the deployment of packages available in the ESCAPE-EOSC software repository to user workspaces. 
3. Analysis interface, work flows, and reproducibility. The analysis interface task combines a number of elements to form the working surface for the user of the GWA and EOSC science platforms. It integrates the data access and staging elements along with the access to the EOSC software repository and containers described in the two previous tasks into an interactive workspace. In addition, this task will provide tools and services that simplify the porting of customized analysis and processing workflows to the GWA and overall ESFRI science platform environment. Work in this task will include  a) the setting up and operation of  functional analysis interface supporting both interactive and batch analysis jobs; b) the customization  of the platform to several specific user scenarios incorporating experience from existing GWA and other ESFRI platform developments; c) the creation of  tools supporting the construction of user developed workflows and pipelines including metadata; d) the development of  representative GWA workflows based on current analysis needs; and e) the  development and integration of visualization, machine learning, and advanced analysis tools into the ESAP. 
All those tasks will require coordination with the projects and activities already ongoing in the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration in particular in the fields of: bulk data handling, multi-messenger astronomy, data-analysis tools and pipelines and public data dissemination for open science. - Doctorate degree  or equivalent  in one of these fields: Physics, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Computing. 
- A few years (3 - 5) of work experience related to computing and analysis aspects of Physics, Astrophysics, Cosmology or related subjects. 
- Good command of English; basic knowledge of Italian and/or French. 
- Experience with some of those technologies will be highly beneficial:
Containerization (such as Docker or Singularity) 
Software development and distribution supporting tool such as:
The Conda package and environment manager
The GitLab collaborative toolchain
File system based software distribution services such as the CernVM File System (CVMFS)
Distributed computing frameworks providing support for bulk data transfer, file catalog and workload management such as Dirac, Rucio and HTCondo
