The European Synchrotron, the ESRF, is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France.

Through its innovative engineering, pioneering scientific vision and a strong commitment from its 700 staff members, the ESRF is recognised as one of the top research facilities worldwide. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams that are used by thousands of scientists each year for experiments in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.

Supported by 19 countries, the ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity.

As part of a group of 15 engineers, you will participate in a project focusing on the implementation of FAIR data management practices of datasets for the ESRF and related data repositories. In the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) the adoption of Open Science practices is increasing. Data from Photon and Neutron (PaN) facilities is becoming available for a wider range of users. You will work in close collaboration with software engineers working on data management, databases, data processing, metadata collection and web portals. You will interact with scientists and users to address their needs in data management. You will interact with the EOSC community of users.

Your missions will be the following: 

• Help make ESRF data easier to find and use by developing web tools and working with Oracle and Mongo databases
• Adapt AI/LLM tools for the analysis of electronic logbooks produced during beamline operations
• Extend the definitions of experimental techniques to classify existing datasets with them
• Deploy generic web services in the PaN European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) node
• Raise visibility of ESRF data by linking them to trusted networks and external data repositories
• Extend the use of DOIs for datasets to samples and other digital objects
