Python Job: SysAdmin research platform engineer f-m

SysAdmin research platform engineer f/m

We are looking for a talented person to manage and expand our computing and networking research platforms. We offer you to learn and be able to evolve on advanced technologies, in a research environment, to participate and contribute, to carry out various tasks independently and in a team, and to work in an international and open environment. The essential working language is English (French is not a prerequisite).

Mission

SLICES is the first European scientific instrument on digital sciences and more particularly, a test platform on future technologies, networks, cloud and IoT.

You will participate in the design and development of the SLICES platform located at Sorbonne University, in coordination with European and international partners (http://slices-ri.eu). You will contribute to the deployment of Core Network and Edge Computing solutions.

What we do

SLICES is a flexible platform designed to support large-scale, experimental research focused on networking protocols, radio technologies, services, data collection, parallel and distributed computing and in particular cloud and edge-based computing architectures and services.

We also operate a private cloud based on OpenStack and a wireless platform, which are part of the virtualized and programmable resources offered by SLICES to researchers.

What we offer

You will work with new advanced technologies and open source software (OAI, O-RAN, etc.). You will work with colleagues in Europe, the USA and Asia, and you will be welcome to introduce new solutions and ideas into our ecosystem. You will participate in international conferences and meetings with partners, so you will be required to travel.

If you wish, you will have the opportunity to publish articles in scientific journals – and if you find the world of research interesting, you can start a PhD. If your interest is more in the industrial world, you will do training and certifications in recognized training centers. You will benefit from a great availability and work autonomy.
