Geomagnetism IT Specialist

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom UK Research and Innovation Full time
About the Role

The Geomagnetism IT Specialist will join a small team providing IT expertise for scientific applications within the Geomagnetism Team, such as required for Space Weather and Navigational services. These all have a dependency on pioneering IT developments. Some require provision of time-series data products and model outputs, in near real-time, and others require provision of services, which include access to databases, models and model outputs.

Key Responsibilities
  • Maintain and develop existing applications and systems, particularly in Fortran, C, Shell scripts and Java, including time series data delivery and display.
  • Design and implement web services that present science data (geomagnetic outputs that can vary both temporally and spatially) to a wide range of users including the public.
  • Provide Linux system administration skills to ensure the geomagnetism team-specific systems (Linux virtual machines and servers) are aligned with the wider BGS operations including security certification (Cyber essentials).
  • Take the lead in a particular area of IT development that is important to our future business (e.g. Containerisation, Cloud Computing, test frameworks and continuous integration).
Additional Responsibilities
  • Provide IT support to Geomagnetism science colleagues.
  • Update systems in response to security scan alerts and deprecation warnings.
  • Pursue a programme of Continuing Professional Development in IT.
Opportunities
  • Take a leading role in the development and maintenance of one or more of our software products.
  • Undertake training to understand basic geomagnetism and space weather as a background to the IT work.

This role provides a rare opportunity to be involved in all stages of the software lifecycle, from design to deployment. Candidates should also note that there is latitude to develop this role around your own skills and you can expect to gain experience in:

  • Taking ownership for managing and solving sophisticated scientific and business problems under your own initiative.
  • Exposure to a wide range of technologies.
  • Assisting with the scientific output of the organisation, and the possibility of representing BGS at national and international meetings relevant to your role.
About You

This job could suit either a relatively recent graduate or someone further into their career with wider knowledge and experience. Applicants considered in the latter group would have a stronger case to be appointed at the higher pay band from the beginning. However, people in the former group would be given opportunities, on the job, to gain the wider knowledge and experience in order, over time, to progress and reach the higher band via the BGS personal promotion scheme.

Candidates should also be able to demonstrate a curiosity about Geomagnetism and/or Space Weather. Any basic background knowledge in these areas would be an advantage, however training will be provided.

The post would suit a self-motivated person with excellent communication skills and who is willing to be an active teammate. Attendance at the office during normal business hours is a requirement, but we also have a flexible hybrid working scheme in place.
