Job description

Research Services


INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY


This full-time post is available immediately on a permanent basis. This role offers the opportunity for hybrid working – some time on campus and some from home.


Research Software Engineers

The University of Exeter Research Software Engineering (RSE) Group supports cutting-edge research, and its impact across the university. RSEs make a vital contribution to the University’s research portfolio by developing and applying professionally usable software tools to address real-world data science, modelling, simulation, and other challenges across the spectrum of computational and social science.


We are seeking a talented software developer with experience of applying and innovating bioinformatics tools and approaches to broaden the skills within our team.


All RSEs within the Group collaborate with academics across the University’s research community to create software and scripts that implement research and apply research methodologies to data and models in a readable, reliable and reproducible fashion.


Generally, RSEs will be simultaneously engaged in several research projects and will therefore be expected to multi-task and prioritise their own workload. As a fundamental part of the process of applying for research funding, RSEs will advise on project development and sections of applications for funding.


RSEs at Exeter are members of the academic community and are encouraged to apply as co-investigators on applications for research funding.


We welcome applications from candidates interested in working part-time hours or job-sharing arrangements.


About you

Successful applicants will be experienced, highly motivated, software developers working to a professional standard and with up-to-date skills. You should have demonstrable experience of working with research data and an ability to collaborate effectively with internal and external teams to complete research projects and advance thinking. Prior experience of working as an RSE within a research environment is desirable.


Applicants will possess professional software development experience or a PhD degree with significant use of computer programming and software engineering, and will have experience in mentoring and evaluating the work of others. All RSEs in Exeter are expected to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the importance of good practices for producing reliable software and reproducible analyses.


About the team

You will join a rapidly growing team of dedicated, friendly and enthusiastic software engineering professionals with a diverse set of interests and backgrounds. We value collaboration, respect and an openness to innovative practises and ways of working. We adopt a flexible, hybrid working style utilising a team space on Streatham campus with some home working.
