The Atmospheric Electricity research group at DTU Space is housed at DTU Space in Lyngby, where we have all the servers and infrastructure needed to process data from our various instruments and experiments, including ASIM onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and ground-based lightning observation campaigns. The group needs a computer scientist to manage their servers, data reduction software and pipeline, databases and website.
Maintenance of this infrastructure is essential to process and disseminate our original data to the international scientific community studying lightning and related phenomena. The position will be funded by two projects: The ASIM Science Data Centre (ASDC) and the Neuro-Lightning project, which will use neuromorphic cameras to study mountaintop lightning.

The work includes the following duties:
- Maintenance and upgrade of the data-processing software.
- Development of new software.
- Maintenance and upgrades of the website.
- Installation, setup and maintenance of linux servers.
- Monitoring of pipeline activity.
- Troubleshooting problems reported by scientific users.
- Archiving of ASIM data at ESAC in Madrid.
- Develop the software and camera system related to the Neuro-Lightning project.
- Support the camera system calibration and laboratory testing.
- Setting up the camera system for field campaigns.
- Data analysis related to ASIM and the Neuro-Lightning project.
Our expectations of you
You must have a master’s degree in lightning physics, lightning protection, information technology, or computer science, and be proficient in the following:
- Python
- Django and CSS
- GIT repositories
- Linux and Docker
- System administration, including RAID

- JavaScript
- Postgres(SQL)
- Knowledge of lightning physics
It would also be advantageous for you to have knowledge of the following:
- Jenkins
- SVN repositories
- UHB and yamcs
- ESA standards for software and documentation (ECSS)
- Neuromorphic cameras
What we offer in return
Our group does research on lightning and related high-altitude phenomena using both data from our own instruments in space and on the ground, and through complex simulations of lightning microphysics on supercomputers. We publish in the leading scientific journals and are a diverse, multinational group.
