Role Summary
This post is established at the University of Birmingham, where the post holder will join a strong and dynamic group of Research Software Engineers with a particular focus on supporting researchers. The Research Software Engineer (RSE) will join a team providing a technical software development and support service to academics from a wide range of disciplines, including those using BEAR’s compute services and those who don’t. This service helps to meet the growing demand for software engineering support and increasing the sustainability of software created for research.
The post holder will collaborate closely with research colleagues from many different academic disciplines and will provide expert knowledge and skills to develop, improve, maintain and support high quality software solutions and access to services, fulfilling the requirements of research projects. The post holder will contribute to developing the knowledge and skills within the research community at all stages of the research software development cycle, e.g. by providing training and coaching sessions as well as promoting the adoption of best practices.
The RSE would commonly work on two projects simultaneously (grant-funded or free), each at 45%, with the remaining time being used for other tasks in ARC. When an engagement with a research project finishes, the RSE would be allocated to further projects.
