Southampton, United Kingdom UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Full time

Web & Internet Science

Location:  Highfield Campus
Salary:   £44,263 to £56,021 Per annum
Full Time Fixed Term for 2 years
Closing Date:  Friday 03 May 2024
Interview Date:   To be confirmed
Reference:  2676124FP

The Southampton Research Software Group (SRSG) is seeking a Senior  Research Software Engineer (RSE) to join our excellent team at the University of Southampton.

The SRSG was one of the first RSE Groups set up in the UK and it is the base of operations for the campaign that helped recognise research software engineering across the world. As such, we can offer both a range of exciting projects within the University of Southampton and unparalleled opportunities to get involved with the national and international RSE community. We are growing significantly over the next few years to meet demand for our expertise, which offers the potential for a new recruit to advance their career as the SRSG grows. We also offer the opportunity to work with the Software Sustainability Institute, which is co-located with the SRSG. The Institute is the world-class authority on research software.

We particularly welcome applications from groups who are under-represented in the academic and RSE communities. We promote a healthy work life balance with generous holiday allowance (30+ days), flexitime and flexible working options including part time, hybrid on-site / remote working, access to onsite childcare facilities and our comprehensive benefits package also includes a contributory pension scheme, subsidised health and fitness facilities, a cycle-to-work scheme, and a range of discounts. For more information on our benefits, please visit our recruitment pages.

To be successful you can have either experience of working in research or an equivalent PhD. You will need a solid background in software development practices and good communication skills. A talent for technical problem solving is a must. You will come into contact with a wide range of technologies and will be given many opportunities to build new skills. We don't expect you to be proficient in everything, but it is vital that you enjoy learning new technologies. There will be many opportunities to develop skills that will advance your career by learning from leading RSEs, and to build on skills outside of software development, such as in project management and consultancy.

The position will be a two-year, fixed-term contract in the first instance, but will be expected to continue for much longer dependent on funding. The post is based at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

The University of Southampton is committed to creating and sustaining a positive and supportive working environment for our staff, and an excellent teaching and learning experience for our students. We aspire that staff are equally valued and respected, and students are encouraged to thrive academically. As a provider of employment and education, we value the diversity of our staff and students. We are committed to providing a fair, equitable and mutually supportive learning and working environment for our students and staff.

For further information, please contact Simon Hettrick (sjh@ecs.soton.ac.uk).
