+shortdescription: Development of coffea to support multiple LHC experiment analysis workflows
+
+description: >
+  As the [coffea](https://coffeateam.github.io/coffea/) analysis framework has continued
+  to gain use across the CMS experiment and is beginning to be used more in ATLAS, the
+  amount of experiment specific code has grown as well.
+  With coffea's recent transition in late 2023 to be more Dask focused there is work to be
+  done to support experiment specific areas, such as the ATLAS specific
+  `coffea.nanoevents.PHYSLITESchema`, while still focusing on performance and user needs.
+  This project would support the general development of coffea with a focus on targeting
+  experiment specific code to support and improve the user experience and would have
+  the Fellow work closely with the coffea core team.
