The Oxford Research Software Engineering Group (OxRSE – www.rse.ox.ac.uk) is looking to recruit a Senior Research Software Engineer (RSE) to join our team. We work with research groups across the university to create, improve and maintain software used for world-class scientific research and translational projects, and provide consultation and training on best practices in research software development and reproducible research.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team, primarily providing support to the Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship programme at Oxford (https://saiis.web.ox.ac.uk/). Oxford will host 55 postdoctoral fellows over 6 years starting from March 2023. OxRSE is providing RSE support to the fellows via software consultancy, direct development support on their research projects, and the delivery of training courses to the fellows, both those in Oxford and internationally.
As a senior member of the OxRSE team, the post holder will be responsible for the acquisition and management of other projects, and the supervision of RSEs and Junior RSEs. Some of our past/current projects include Global.health (https://global.health), an improved, scalable platform for disease tracking created by an international team of researchers from leading institutions; PyBaMM (www.pybamm.org), a NUMFOCUS sponsored library for solving PDE models of batteries; and LanguageScreen (languagescreen.com), a key tool for the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) programme.
We are looking for candidates who hold a doctoral degree with a significant software development component, or substantial experience in software engineering in a research environment. You must be able to collaborate effectively with other researchers to design and implement reliable and maintainable software solutions to scientific questions and rapidly acquire skills in new programming languages, libraries, and technologies. Any prior experience in software engineering for AI and machine learning applications, and/or in high-performance computing (HPC) would be desirable.
This post is offered as an open-ended position subject to external funding. It is full time, but flexible options will be considered (e.g., part-time, job share).
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online, and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV. Your supporting statement should explain how you meet each of the selection criteria using examples of your skills and experience.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 14th March 2025.
