Well, due to Circumstances, I'll be looking for a job starting next week. Probably a real grownup job where I actually use my skills.

If anyone is hiring or knows of someone who is hiring remotely in the UK or locally in NI for an astrophysics PhD who is cracking with Python, knows a bit of SQL and cloud computing, is experienced in both data analysis and software development, and is ALSO uncannily quick to learn new things, then hit me up.

ETA: Just to be clear: I'm not looking for astrophysics jobs. My experience in astro was largely in big data wrangling and software dev so that's what I'm after now!

Vacancies - Society of Research Software Engineering

You can post a vacancy here for any role that involves a significant element of writing software for research, or supports the role of RSEs. Vacancies anywhere in the world are welcome. We have also collated resources to help improve EDIA for recruitment, as well as other job boards. It is not a requirement that your job title is listed as “Research Software Engineer” however you should consider the advantages of doing so. I.e.: If your job involves supporting RSEs in their role or is otherwise related to RSE without directly involving writing software for research, it will be published under ‘Related non-RSE’. You can submit a job advert using this form and it will go to a member of our web team for approval. Please also consider adding the role description to our RSE Career Ladder database. Other RSE organisations may have their own job boards so have a look at theirs too. RSE Job Vacancies Related non-RSE / RSE-like Vacancies These vacancies are not necessarily for RSE positions, but we believe they may still be of interest to our community.

@samtygier As much as I'd love to be an RSE, very few of the positions are likely to be fully remote, and neither of the NI universities hire RSEs. I'm not willing or able to relocate.
@astronomerritt sorry, remote RSE jobs do come up there (maybe less than there used to be). Also (annoyingly) not all the jobs that get posted on the RSE slack seem to get added to the website.
Health Data Research UK posted these 2 remote positions on slack:
