Research Software Engineer Newcastle University

Newcastle University has an opening in its Research Software Engineering Team for a Data Scientist.

The team works across the whole university and with a range of external partners. We develop high-quality software in collaboration with scientists, engineers and scholars from all research domains. You will be responsible for delivering technical software engineering expertise across multiple simultaneous projects.

You will have an MSc in a computationally based field (equivalent experience or close to completion), as well as proven experience in software development. We are especially interested in interviewing candidates with experience in:

• Analysis techniques for different data types such as images or text
• Statistical analysis
• Using techniques such as Linear Regression, Random Forest, and Classification
• Experience with Machine Learning approaches, such as applications of Convolutional Neural Networks

Applications are welcome from both software development generalists and from researchers with interdisciplinary technology-focused skills which either complement or extend our existing team.
