Summer Job in Licensing at European Spallation Source (ESS)

The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden is a partnership of 13 European countries with the mission to design, construct and operate the world’s most powerful neutron source.

Working with us means being part of a challenging and exciting work environment, at a stunning, brand-new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.

About the position

We are now looking to appoint a summer worker for the Licensing Group in the Operations and Machine Directorate.

The Licensing Group is responsible for managing needed permits from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority and upholding compliance with their regulatory framework. In this work, we rely on an extensive documentation package to prove that ESS will be able to operate a facility that is safe both for the people working here and for the general public.

As an NLP/ML/AI summer worker, your main tasks will be to explore and evaluate ML/AI models that can help to identify potential inconsistencies in documentation and assess compliance as described in documentation in comparison to legislative conditions. You may also be involved in other data management tasks.

About you

A suitable background for this position would be:

• A minimum of three years of studying Data Science, Computer Science, Informatics, Engineering or similar.
• Practical experience in using Python (preferred language) and libraries related to NLP/ML (e.g. NLP, Numpy, Pandas, SciKit Learn, spaCy)
• Practical experience of employing AI models for processing textual content.
• Good written and oral communication skills in English.
• Minimum age 18 years.

We believe that you enjoy communicating and collaborating with a variety of people in an international environment and that you are structured and good at documenting your work. You are good at taking initiative, taking responsibility for the results and not afraid to ask questions when you get stuck.

We intend to bring in an additional summer worker in Data Quality Management, and if beneficial, you could partly collaborate around the results.

Duration and location

This is a summer work position for six weeks starting in June, with an exact start date to be agreed. Your workplace is on-site at ESS in Lund, Sweden, with potential visits to our Data Management and Software Centre in Copenhagen.
