The UCL Research Software Development Group is again looking for new RSE members at either entry or senior level. We currently have one vacancy at each grade, and hope to be able to recruit more than this if we get a good field of candidates! While we always welcome any candidates matching the job descriptions, we are on this occasion particularly seeking expertise in high-performance computing (e.g., MPI, OpenMP, SYCL, novel technologies), or web development with Django.

The group, founded in 2012, was the first of its kind, and is one of the leading university-based research programming groups in the UK. We work across college developing high-quality software, collaborating with world-leading scientists, engineers and scholars from all research domains, within UCL and beyond. Whether this means using Python to build up a database of ancient Sumerian writings, parallelising Fortran codes for surface catalysis simulations, creating an online system to develop and evaluate models of heart cells, analysing live healthcare data within hospitals, or designing and building a big data image processing library in C++11 and Python, we do it all. Given the variety of areas in which we work, and the regular turnover of new projects, we welcome a wide range of backgrounds and technical skill sets. The most important attribute is an enthusiasm for reproducible, reliable and sustainable computational research!

The team is friendly and diverse, currently with 27 members. All our positions are permanent, on open-ended contracts, and enjoy good opportunities for personal development and career progression within the group, in both technical and managerial tracks.

For more details of the vacancy and to apply check out the full advert. Note that job descriptions for both grades are given, and you should state in your application which you consider best fits you; the depth of interview will be selected accordingly. The closing date is 25th April 2021, with interviews taking place using Microsoft Teams in May (dates TBC). (We are working fully remotely until further notice due to the pandemic.) The salary range is from £36,028 to £52,764 per annum depending on grade.
