The e-Science Centre is a partner in the European projects XtreemOS (www.xtreemos.eu) which aims to prototype a Grid operating system, and also holds a grant under the PIPPS scheme (http://www.scitech.ac.uk/KE/FOpp/PIPSS/Contents.aspx) which is exploring the integration of grid middleware into commercial environments. Further, the e-Science Centre has a programme to develop Grid based tools to support the scientific facilities at STFC, and also within the UK.
The e-Science Centre is seeking a highly motivated individual to undertake research and technology development, including software implementation, on these and other projects.
