The Southampton Research Software Group (SRSG) is seeking a Senior Research Software Engineer (RSE) to join their team at the University of Southampton. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to work with the Software Sustainability Institute.

The SRSG was one of the first RSE Groups set up in the UK and it is the base of operations for the campaign that helped recognise research software engineering across the world. As such, they can offer both a range of exciting projects within the University of Southampton and unparalleled opportunities to get involved with the national and international RSE community.

Applications from groups who are under-represented in the academic and RSE communities are strongly encouraged. Succesful candidates should have either experience of working in research or an equivalent PhD. Addionally, a solid background in software development practices and good communication skills are essential. A talent for technical problem solving is a must. Exposure to a wide range of technologies is expected and there will be many opportunities to build new skills. While expertise in all areas is not required, enthusiasm for learning new technologies is crucial. There will be many opportunities to develop skills that will advance your career by learning from leading RSEs, and to build on skills outside of software development, such as in project management and consultancy.
