The Role
We are looking to hire a Senior Research Software Engineer (RSE) to lead the development and implementation of an online database platform to support an international research project into childhood leukaemia (a type of blood cancer).
You will join the Leukaemia Research Cytogenetics Group (LRCG) - part of the Newcastle University Centre for Cancer (NUCancer) - a multidisciplinary team based in our impressive Herschel building, in Newcastle City Centre.
You will be responsible for leading the delivery of the technical part of the project and are expected to proactively collaborate with researchers across Europe, supporting the use of relevant technologies and contribute significant software engineering skills into the research project.
We are looking for an individual with experience in developing online tools, leading projects, and web development. You will not be tied to a pre-existing technical environment meaning you can shape what that looks like.
This post is fixed term until 31 March 2026.
Some national and international travel will be required.
To apply for this position, we'll need a copy of your CV and a covering letter which should outline how you are suitable for the role, with a particular focus on the essential criteria in the knowledge, skills and experience.
If you have any questions prior to applying, please contact Anthony Moorman (Professor of Genetic Epidemiology) for further information.
