Fortran is one of the oldest programming languages still in active use today and despite being first developed 70 years ago, it remains indispensable to many international science and engineering projects, including climate change modelling.
The FortranFuture NetworkPlus project is seeking a Research Fellow to help answer a high-level question: how do we sustain sciences and engineering disciplines currently dependent on Fortran so that they continue to advance knowledge and contribute to society, the economy and the environment for the next 70 years?
FortranFuture is an interdisciplinary collaboration between software engineering and social science researchers at Queen's University Belfast and University of Southampton, with 25+ institutional partners and a community of practice of 75+ practitioners, including research software engineers, computational scientists and other stakeholders and policy makers.
The role is full-time and fixed-term, based in Belfast with hybrid working available. The closing date is 6 July 2026.
