Meet the university’s Research Software Engineering Team
The university’s Research Software Engineering team will be coming to the Business School at 12:00 on Thursday 12th January 2023. This session will give you the opportunity to meet the team and learn more about what they do.
The session will be held in person in NUBS 2.12 and on Zoom. To register please click here.
Newcastle University’s Research Software Engineering (RSE) team collaborates with scientists, engineers and scholars. The team’s day to day work sees them costed onto research projects across all faculties to provide software engineering expertise. We also deliver training in software engineering best practice. Researchers can find out more by attending our RSE Showcases where we’ll describe what it’s like to have an RSE working on your research along with examples from previous projects. Researchers will also find out how to participate in our no cost project and grant development consultations; getting advice, from the first seeds of an idea through submitting a grant, on how technology can support your research.
We can help with technical sections of grant writing if needed and advise on what’s achievable within a specific timescale and budget.
Our projects vary in length and the amount of RSE resource provided. We don’t allocate individual engineers onto projects, but allocate RSE time instead. We have a diverse set of skills across the team and this allows us to bring in different RSEs in at different stages of a project. So you might begin with a data scientist who works to develop machine learning algorithms at an early stage, but then a web developer later to build a web based portal, or to do data visualisations.
