Offer Description
Your responsibilities
The Event Filter (EF) is part of the ATLAS Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) system and will consist of a multi-threaded asynchronous processing farm of commodity servers (including CPUs with or without accelerators) running a subset of offline-like reconstruction algorithms and menu-driven event selection. It processes event data from the Dataflow system and provides the accept/reject decision and selected reconstruction data for offline storage. The high luminosity (and consequently high pile-up) conditions expected in Phase-II give rise to specific challenges for the object and event reconstruction algorithms planned for the EF, in particular for track reconstruction.
ATLAS plans to develop the most effective and performant solution for the EF tracking and deploy it on the most suitable hardware architecture employing standard numerical and Machine Learning models.
The selected candidate will part of the CERN ATLAS Data Processing team. He or she will take responsibilities in the development and deployment of EF tracking solutions, with focus on ML-based approaches to tracking. In particular, the candidate will investigate the use of Graph Neural Networks (GNN) for EF track reconstruction algorithms aiming at implementing a prototype chain in which part of the algorithms are ported to systems with co-processors. The candidate will also work on providing physics and computation performance evaluation of the configuration studied.
This position is part of the Next Generation Trigger programme (https://cern.ch/nextgen-proposal ).

About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
We are on a Quest. A Journey into discovery like no other. Bring your expertise to our unique work and develop your knowledge and skills at pace. Join world-class subject matter experts on unique projects, in a Quest for greater knowledge and deeper understanding.
Begin your CERN Quest. Take Part!
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
