ERC Project COSE: codedsecrets.eu

We're hiring a First-Level Technologist to join a hands-on role at the intersection of software engineering and digital heritage. You'll help set up and expand an experimental lab at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano — building the infrastructure that lets researchers run, analyse, and reverse-engineer networked software-based art from the 1990s to today, often on obsolete operating systems, languages and libraries no longer supported anywhere else.
Your work: manage a Linux server, develop and integrate tools for analysis, reverse engineering and restoration of digital artworks, and shape interfaces for both technical and non-technical users.
Ideal for profiles in Applied Computer Science, Software Engineering, Media Informatics, or Conservation/Restoration of New Media and Digital Information who want technical work with real cultural stakes.

📍 Trilingual university, heart of the Italian Alps
⏳ Deadline: 18 September 2026, 12:00 noon CET
