ARC also operates the multi-million pound EPSRC-funded Baskerville Tier 2 accelerated compute system . Individuals working in ARC need to be resourceful, innovative and attuned to the research process. Role Summary This post is established at the University of Birmingham, where the post holder will join a strong and dynamic group of Research Software Engineers with a particular focus on supporting researchers. The Research Software Engineer (RSE) will join a team providing a technical software development and support service to academics from a wide range of disciplines, including those using BEAR’s compute services and those who don’t. This service helps to meet the growing demand for software engineering support and increasing the sustainability of software created for research. You will join the Research Software Group (RSG) within ARC and will be encouraged and supported in developing your skills, through formal training and mentoring by highly skilled colleagues within this Group. The RSG (established in 2017) consists of a variety of roles, including Research Software Engineers, Research Applications Specialists and Research Data Scientists. The post holder will collaborate closely with research colleagues from many different academic disciplines and will provide expert knowledge and skills to develop, improve, maintain and support high quality software solutions and access to services, fulfilling the requirements of research projects. The post holder will contribute to developing the knowledge and skills within the research community at all stages of the research software development cycle, e.g. by providing training and coaching sessions as well as promoting the adoption of best practices. The RSE will have a varied and interesting workload that changes with the requirements that arrive from world-class researchers. The post holder will be joining an existing group of RSEs, and as such is likely to specialise in particular aspects of this job description – depending on their skills, the skills of the rest of the group, and the work available. The RSE would commonly work on two projects simultaneously (grant-funded or free), each at 45%, with the remaining time being used for other tasks in ARC. When an engagement with a research project finishes, the RSE would be allocated to further projects. Main Duties Provide advice, support, coaching, and coding services; crucially always with the aim of ownership and responsibility remaining with the research group. Prioritise tasks across multiple engagements to meet agreed objectives, ensuring effective communication to project leads. Manage the expectations of researchers and research groups. Engage with researchers at all development stages and disseminate best practices in the development of sustainable research software. Take responsibility and work collaboratively with research groups from across the University for the definition, documentation, development and satisfactory completion of collaborative software projects: defining requirements; devising solutions; agreeing timescales and priorities as well as identifying the risks to be managed. Each of these engagements will be unique in nature and complexity. They will typically range from requiring a few days to several months of effort. Build and maintain relationships with research communities within the University and beyond, seeking opportunities to contribute to research and identify opportunities for new research projects. Work closely with researchers and contribute to research bids to funding bodies to secure funds for research, defining the scope of work and the associated costs for software engineering support for the grant applications. Contribute to research papers to be published in academic literature and produce case studies. Engage with researchers at all development stages and disseminate best practices in the development and sustainability of research software. Contribute to raising awareness of BEAR and Tier2 services for researchers and the profile of the team. Help build active user communities locally and regionally, by contributing to seminars and networking events, encouraging the adoption of best practice, sharing knowledge and expertise. Contribute to the support of computational research at the University, within ARC and the wider research software engineering ecosystem. Provide software engineering input to assist the maintenance of the infrastructure and deliver integrated support and services for local and Tier2 research communities. Deliver training courses, devising content where applicable or, where qualified, delivering externally validated material, e.g. Software Carpentries. Content will vary from introductory to specialised and advanced levels. Liaise and engage with external professional networks within the software engineering sector, such as national RSE networks and the Software Sustainability Institute, to keep informed of the latest developments and sector initiatives. Identify opportunities for service improvement, such as efficiency, reliability and performance of parallel codes and third-party applications, and propose and develop innovative solutions to enrich the user experience, to enhance service delivery, and reduce costs or environmental impacts. Maintain an awareness of technical developments, tools and ideas in research computing and in software engineering, including attending seminars, technical briefings, conferences and technical groups. In addition to University provided training and development, you will undertake sufficient personal and professional development as required, ensuring skills and knowledge are up to date so that the role is performed to the required level. Actively manages equality, diversity and inclusion through monitoring and evaluation and actively challenging unacceptable behaviour. Any other duties commensurate with the grade. Required Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications, Experience Educated to Degree level (or equivalent qualifications) preferably in a subject with a strong software engineering component or relevant technical qualification and considerable relevant experience. Where no equivalent qualification is held, significant practical relevant experience and expertise in a series of more demanding roles will be required demonstrating the conceptual understanding required.
