The Scuola Normale Superiore announces a selection, based on work to date, for a research contract named “Machine Learning and Multi-messenger analysis for gravitational wave data within European Open Science Cloud environment” as part of the research project UE H2020 “EOSC Future”, Acronym EOSC Future (call H2020-INFRAEOSC-2020-2).

Context
The ESCAPE project is building a virtual research environment (VRE) for the astronomy, astroparticle, particle and nuclear physics communities, as a prototype of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
