Associate Director, Research Software Engineering

2 months ago

Princeton NJ United States Princeton University Full time
Overview

The Research Software Engineering (RSE) Group, located institutionally in Princeton Research Computing but extending across campus, is hiring an Associate Director of Research Software Engineering. You will report to the Sr. Director of Research Software Engineering.

The RSE Group collectively provides computational research expertise to nearly every division at Princeton: Engineering and Applied Science, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences. The RSE group is a centralized team of software experts focused on improving the quality, performance, and sustainability of Princeton's computational research software. The group is committed to building collaborative environments that value the best software engineering practices for sharing and applying cross-disciplinary computational techniques in new and emerging areas.

In this position, you will build and lead a growing team of Research Software Engineers who provide dedicated expertise to researchers to create the most efficient, scalable, and sustainable research code possible to enable new scientific and scholarly advances. You will have the opportunity, and be encouraged, to bring new initiatives, technologies, and/or approaches to the RSE group and Princeton Research Software Community.

You will develop strong relationships with new research groups to understand and assess their research software needs, determine the appropriate RSE support model, and work to match or recruit researchers with the right competencies and fit to a project. You'll act as a liaison to departments, overseeing the work of several research software engineers, making sure that each project is benefiting appropriately from the research collaboration and addressing, troubleshooting, or problem-solving any barriers or roadblocks with RSEs.

You will oversee and encourage the professional development of the research software engineers you manage by engaging with the broader research community, and encouraging and enabling their participation in the boarder University research mission via training workshops, advising, consultation, curricular support, and/or participating in conferences or research groups outside of their immediate team. Finally, as part of the RSE management team, you will contribute to the strategic vision and mission for Research Software Engineering at Princeton.

If you have a background in research software development and experience leading teams, you are poised to make an immediate impact on the research software engineering landscape at Princeton. You will collaborate closely with colleagues in Research Computing as well as with leading faculty researchers, student researchers, and technical staff in University departments, national labs, and industry.

This role functions within a dynamic, supportive team environment that permits diverse backgrounds to thrive, including those wanting to make a career change and those with non-traditional career tracks, educational paths, or life experiences. If this environment sounds like a strong match, or even an exciting challenge, we encourage you to apply and use your cover letter to explain why you would be a good fit for the role.
