Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Newcastle University Full time

We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.

The Role
We are looking for an HPC-focused RSE to join the Research Software Engineering Team to support multiple research projects and the delivery of the University's new HPC service.

The team works across the whole university and with a range of external partners including the Alan Turing Institute. We develop high-quality software in collaboration with scientists, engineers and scholars from all research domains. You will be responsible for delivering technical software engineering expertise across multiple simultaneous projects and supporting senior staff with the delivery of the University HPC service.

If you are looking to apply your skills into research, we would love to hear from you. The RSE Team's goal is to transform research at Newcastle through the application of software engineering best practice. Its work spans research, teaching and innovation through engagement with external organisations. As a team we work across the university and with every academic discipline. Whether this means scaling human cell analysis pipelines in the cloud, creating new digital editions to breathe new life into medieval manuscripts, generating near-real-time flood risk assessments, or working to develop decision support tools for organ transplantation - we do it all.

We bring specialist programming expertise, modern development practices and engineering rigour to academic software. We provide expert software engineering consulting services to world-leading research teams and collaborate with scientists and scholars to build software to meet the next generation of research challenges.

You will have an MSc in a computationally based field (or equivalent experience), as well as proven experience of software development. There is one role available, and we are especially interested in interviewing candidates with experience in any of the following areas:

  • Distributed and/or parallel computing
  • Linux
  • Delivery of classroom-based training
  • Development of accessible technical documentation in a range of forms and contexts

Applications are welcome from both software development generalists and from researchers with inter-disciplinary technology focused skills which either complement or extend our existing team.

The post is available as an open-ended contract from the date of appointment and offer the opportunity for blended working.

To apply, please upload a CV and cover letter which outlines how you meet the requirements set out in the job description.

Please contact Mark Turner at to have a chat about this opportunity.

£33,966 to £36,024 with progression to £44,263 per annum.
