The Research Data Science Service is part of The Institute for Data and AI (IDAI)1 and the Research Software Group (RSG). We aim to improve and enable state-of-the-art data science research at the University through a range of complementary services. The Service is funded by both IDAI and The Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Government.
We are delighted to announce that we are recruiting for two posts funded by IDAI and based in the RSG:
- a Senior Research Data Scientist, joining our existing team;
- a Senior Research Data Scientist and Manager, who will provide line management for the team and help to coordinate the Service.
These posts are Fixed Term Contracts, with an expected end date of 31 July 2028.
Our Senior Research Data Scientists collaborate closely with researchers from many different academic disciplines, providing expert knowledge and skills to analyse, visualise, explore, and extract knowledge from all kinds of research data. They will provide training in their areas of expertise as well as promote the associated best practices. Please see our web pages for more details.
You are not expected to start with a full set of skills but should have a good base of experience and strong skills in some of the areas listed and a commitment to learn and build on them, staying up-to-date with the latest advances in a fast-moving field.
We welcome candidates looking for flexible working patterns. There is an expectation that candidates will spend at least two days on our campus each week and any flexible patterns will need to be agreed in advance.
Closing date: 12 January 2025
