Senior Research Software Engineer (ICCS) (Fixed Term)

A core part of the Institute is our team of Research Software Engineers (RSEs) who reside in Research Computing Services. ICCS RSEs work closely with several international teams of climate scientists, including the Schmidt Sciences' Virtual Earth Systems Research Institute, to develop the next generation of climate modelling tools and work with other members of ICCS to identify and implement projects which can have a wider impact beyond the immediate climate science teams' needs.
