About the SRSG
The SSI is represented in Southampton by the Southampton Research Software Group (SRSG), which was one of the first Research Software Engineers (RSE) Groups set up in the UK. The SRSG was the base of operations for the first study of software-reliance in research, the campaign that helped recognise research software engineering across the world, and the Hidden REF which is changing the way that success in research is recognised.
We believe equality and diversity are fundamental to making the University of Southampton a vibrant, proud and successful organisation. A diverse workforce, with people from different racial, educational and social backgrounds and a range of ages, opens up a wealth of possibilities for Southampton. We particularly welcome applications from groups under-represented in the academic community.

The University holds an Athena SWAN silver award in recognition of its’ continued commitment to improving equality for women in science and engineering. We will give due consideration to applicants that wish to work flexibly including part-time and due consideration will be given to applicants who have taken a career break. The University has a generous maternity policy*, and onsite childcare facilities.
The position will be for two years, fixed-term contract in the first instance, but will be expected to continue for much longer dependent upon funding.
