The Storage Group (ST) within CERN's IT Department ensures a coherent development and operation of storage services at CERN for all aspects of physics data.

A key responsibility of the Group is the development of data storage and data management solutions, which are mission critical for the LHC program but also most other science activities at CERN and the word-wide LHC grid.

The EOS storage system developed by the group serves today more 80 PB of data to the community of analyzing scientists from most CERN experiment.

The system increasingly also takes over additional task such as serving as a backend for cloud storage and providing home directories to CERN users.

The successful candidate will join the Analysis and Design (AD) section of ST group that develops storage and data management solutions for use at CERN and in the LHC computing grid and participates actively in the XROOT project.
