DESY, with more than 2900 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, is one of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuses on decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallest particles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In this way, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgent challenges facing science, society and industry. With its ultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young scientists.
The CMS DESY group is strongly involved in the CMS Experiment at CERN. Besides strong contributions to several physics analysis groups and the construction of large detectors for the High Luminosity LHC, the group delivers crucial contributions for the track-based alignment of the CMS tracker as institutional responsibility. This includes the support of the underlying software infrastructure based on the Millepede II software.
- Maintenance and further development of the alignment software package Millepede II, and its interface to the CMS software framework
- Coordination of the DESY-based alignment activities of the CMS experiment
- Support of other users of the Millepede II software package
- Carrying out your own research and development projects, e.g in scientific software development, machine learning, or CMS data analysis
