This role presents a great opportunity to join the growing community of Research Software Engineers (RSE) at Imperial College London via its core team within the Research Computing Service (RCS). The RCS encompasses a dedicated team of RSEs, an on-premises High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility and provides training for the HPC users and researchers.
Our mission at the RSE Team is to increase the quality, impact and sustainability of the research software developed at Imperial, supporting the College in improving its world-leading research outputs. The Team has been in place since 2017 and has worked on dozens of projects across all faculties of the College. We have experience developing and maintaining performant, reliable, and sustainable research software in a variety of research domains, training researchers in best coding practices and supporting the writing of grant proposals with a software component. Our Team is supported by the resources of the ICT division and works in collaboration with the academic research community. We are passionate about open-source software and firm supporters of the FAIR principles of open research.
As an RSE you will contribute to the RSE team’s success by developing innovative software, promoting the importance of good software engineering, and ultimately accelerating the research process. You will work under general direction with a clear framework of accountability, while exercising substantial personal responsibility and autonomy, applying novel technologies to diverse and meaningful challenges.
