About the role

The position of Research Software Engineer (RSE) is key to the delivery of many of the core services of QMUL ITS Research. The RSE team are a centralised team within ITS Research, supporting researchers across the whole university.

The post holder will work closely with research staff and students to help them and their wider research community. In addition to developing new and existing code, there will be an emphasis on promoting good software engineering practices, including testing, code quality, documentation, data management, and the use of version control and continuous integration. There is an additional focus on reproducibility, usability and software sustainability. 

This RSE role will be of interest to candidates with extensive experience/interest in the following topics:

  • Data-intensive programming/data science
  • Scientific/numerical programming

The Research Software Engineer also supports researchers with smaller scale research software projects including the development of packages and libraries, bugfixes and dissemination of research tools and outputs.
