Jefferson Lab, located in Newport News, Virginia, USA, is a world-class scientific laboratory managed for the U. S. Department of Energy by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC. It operates a fixed target program in four experimental halls (A, B, C, D) at the luminosity frontier with large acceptance detection systems and an electron beam of energy up to 12 GeV provided by the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF).   The high luminosity operation and data acquisition rate result in huge volumes of collected data (multi petabytes per year) which pose software organization, computing architecture and data management challenges.

Jefferson Lab is seeking an outstanding person to support effective software coordination for the Physics Division to meet the mission needs of 12 GeV science, and to serve as a point of contact between the Physics Division and the Scientific Computing Department.

In This Role You Will:

  *   Interact with the Jefferson Lab physics, computer staff, and the user community to provide support and guidance on software and database development,
  *   Develop and support a searchable data-repository for Jefferson Lab physics results
  *   Support implementation of the ongoing and future AI/ML activities,
  *   Coordinate the ongoing and future streaming readout activities and distributed computing approach for the experimental halls,
  *   Actively participate in software and database development to support the scientific mission of the lab, and
  *   Present research through presentations at conferences and workshops, and through publications.

Qualifications We Require:

Staff Scientist I

Education, Certifications and Experience:

  *   PhD in Experimental Nuclear or High Energy Physics

 Experience

  *   Strong proficiency in Linux/unix command-line environments

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

  *   Demonstrated knowledge of computational infrastructure and applications applicable to large scale experimental facilities.
  *   Database development experience (schema development and SQL) is a plus.
  *   Prior experience with Nuclear / High-energy Computing environments and software toolkits is highly desired: ROOT, Rucio, XRootD, Singularity/Apptainer containers, Kubernetes, Docker, etc
  *   Proven ability to promote teamwork and collaboration.
  *   Excellent interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills.
