Senior Research Software Engineer

**PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY**





We have an exciting opportunity for two Senior Research Software Engineer’s to
join the newly established Competency Centre for Cloud Computing and AI/ML,
which is part of the University’s Digital Transformation. The aim of the
Competency Centre is to provide a centralised expertise on the use of public
cloud computing for research applications, particularly in the context of
contemporary AI/ML approaches.





Working across the University, you will provide centralised expertise working
with researchers with diverse research questions who require access to cloud
computing capabilities. This will require significant software engineering
experience and also hands-on experience of using public cloud infrastructure
at different scales. Many of the use-cases will require the implementation of
AI/ML methods and you will work closely with the OxRSE team to identify
opportunities and pull together innovative software solutions. You will also
lead in the development and delivery of training courses and workshops to
other researchers within the University.





To be successful in this role, you will hold a Master’s degree with a
significant computational component, with post-qualification research
experience or equivalent experience in a similar role. You will have a strong
track record of the use of public cloud service providers (e.g. GCP, AWS,
Azure, Oracle etc.), and have significant experience with one programming
language used for research (e.g. Python, C++, C, Matlab, R, Java, Javascript,
Fortran, Rust). It is important that you have excellent communication skills,
including the ability to communicate with researchers, write for publication,
present research proposals and results, represent the group at meetings, and
be able to work collaboratively and as part of a team.





Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required
to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application.
Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection
criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.



This position is offered full time on a fixed term contract until 22 October
2025.



Only applications received before 12 midday on 18 June 2024 will be
considered. Please quote **167373** on all correspondence.
