I’ve been working in OPIG as a Research Software Engineer for several years now, and it’s been a fantastic experience. Sadly, my time here is coming to an end, which means we’re looking to hire a new Research Software Engineer to take over! As a computational research group, we write a lot of scientific software and strive to ensure everything we do is open-source and as accessible as possible to both academic and industrial users. Many of these tools are still in use long after the people who wrote them have left the group, and are actively maintained to ensure they remain useful to researchers. Supporting the development and deployment of all of these tools are our Research Software Engineers. This is a great opportunity to work at the intersection of academia and industry, where you will be able to both contribute to world-leading research and maximise the impact of that research by ensuring the tools produced are both accessible and sustainable.

This is a full-time, permanent position in OPIG, based in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford. For more details, or to apply, you can find the job details here.
