Job Description
Our Frontier Technology group in the IT Department is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Artificial Intelligence Expert to develop advanced anomaly detection algorithms based on Deep Learning. These algorithms will be crucial for monitoring and optimizing the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) network infrastructure and other computing workloads deployment optimization in WLCG.
We are excited about the opportunity to apply these techniques to the field of humanitarian operations, thanks to our recent collaboration with the World Food Program on Artificial Intelligence.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and deploy anomaly detection algorithms using Deep Learning techniques.
* Collaborate with network engineers and data scientists to understand the requirements and challenges of the WLCG network infrastructure.
* Analyze large-scale network data to identify patterns and anomalies.
* Optimize algorithms for real-time performance and accuracy.
* Conduct experiments and validate the effectiveness of the developed algorithms.
* Explore and apply new anomaly detection techniques to humanitarian operations in collaboration with the World Food Program.
* Document and present findings to stakeholders and contribute to scientific publications.
Stay updated with the latest advancements in AI, Deep Learning, and network monitoring technologies.
Qualifications
* Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning or a related field.
Experience
* Proven experience in developing and deploying Deep Learning models, particularly for anomaly detection.
* Solid understanding of CERN network protocols and infrastructure.
Technical Competencies
* Knowledge of programming techniques and languages: strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with Deep Learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
* Administration of networks.
* Design of networks.
Behavioural Competencies
* Solving Problems: assimilating large quantities of information, identifying key issues and formulating conclusions clearly and concisely. Seeking and integrating other points of view when tackling an issue; consulting experts in the field and undertaking benchmarking.
