Exeter, United Kingdom University of Exeter Full time

Research Services

A full-time post is available immediately on a permanent basis.

The University of Exeter Research Software Engineering (RSE) Group supports cutting-edge research across the university, improving reproducibility and bolstering impact. RSEs make a vital contribution to the university’s research portfolio by designing and developing software tools of a professional standard to address real-world challenges spanning the spectrum of computational and social science.

We are seeking talented software developers to join the Research Software Engineering Group. Every RSE in the team is a member of the academic community and collaborates with researchers across the university to create and extend software that facilitates and embodies research in a readable, reliable and reproducible fashion. They are typically simultaneously engaged in several research projects, thus are expected to multi-task and prioritise their own workload. Given the diverse nature of projects, they are also often required to develop expertise in new areas.

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

About you

Successful applicants will be talented, versatile software developers working to a professional standard with up-to-date skills. You should have demonstrable experience of designing and developing software, supplemented by an understanding of best practices in software development. This experience could have been acquired working in industry or via a PhD degree that required significant use of computer programming and software engineering. Prior experience of contributing to research projects through collaboration with academic researchers is desirable.

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.

Please ensure you read the Job Description and Person Specification for full details of this role.

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Commitment

We are committed to ensuring reasonable adjustments are available for interviews and workplaces.

Whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, we particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented within our working community. 

With over 30,000 students and 7,000 staff from 150 different countries we offer a diverse and engaging environment where our diversity is celebrated and valued as a major strength. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where all members of our community are supported to thrive; where diverse voices are heard through our engagement with evidence-based charter frameworks for gender (Athena SWAN and Project Juno for Physics), race equality (Race Equality Charter Mark), LGBTQ+ inclusion (Stonewall Diversity Champion) and as a Disability Confident employer.

Benefits

We offer some fantastic benefits including: 

  • 41 days leave per year
  • options for flexible working
  • numerous discounts at leading retailers
  • onsite gyms on all of our campus’ and a cycle to work scheme
  • sector leading policies around maternity, adoption and shared parental leave (up to 26 weeks full pay), paternity leave (up to six weeks full pay) and a new Fertility Treatment Policy
  • stunning campus environments in Exeter and Cornwall, in the beautiful South West of England 

Further Information

Please contact Dr Fliss Guest, Deputy Head of Research Software Engineering (F.L.Guest@exeter.ac.uk).
