The Science Directorate at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for a Group Leader for the Data Systems and Technologies Group of the Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC)

Description of directorate/division
DMSC is responsible for the design, development and construction of the computer software and hardware to be used for the performance, and also the data analysis, of the experiments to be carried out on the neutron scattering and imaging instruments to be constructed at ESS. DMSC performs work at both the ESS offices in Lund, Sweden and at the main DMSC offices currently located at Universitetsparken 1 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2017 the main offices of DMSC will move to a purpose built building on the Niels Bohr campus of the University of Copenhagen.

Description of main responsibilities
The role of the Data Systems and Technologies Group (DSTG) Leader is to lead the team of system designers and administrators who will design, construct, and operate the data storage, network, and high performance computing systems that will be used to stream, store and process the experimental data taken on the instruments to be built at the ESS. These systems will be located both at ESS in Lund and at the DMSC building in Copenhagen, and will be available to the experimental users of ESS instruments.

The Data Systems and Technologies Group is also responsible for operating computer systems for the scientific software development work taking place at DMSC. These systems are used by DMSC groups, other groups within ESS, and ESS's international collaborators. Divisions at ESS with whom DMSC works very closely are the Integrated Control Systems Division and the Information Technology Division.
