WIAS is coordinator of the “Mathematical Research Data Initiative” (MaRDI) within the German National Research Data Initiative (NFDI).
In the context of its research in the field of applied mathematics, WIAS develops research software and uses and generates research data. The research software has different levels of complexity – from publication-accompanying scripts to internationally leading open source software and codes in industrial projects. An important part of the research results of WIAS is “formulated” in research software and data.
As an integral part of the research process, this software and data are subject to the requirements for research as a whole. These include the rules of Good Scientific Practice and the resulting “FAIR” principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
To support the scientific projects of WIAS in this area, WIAS is looking for an
Research Software Engineer with interest in research data management (m/f/d), (identification number 22/01).
In the short term, the work tasks consist primarily of setting up and structuring services (continuous integration, issue handling, release management archiving, etc.) and reproducible environments (predefined software environments) for sustainable, quality-assured development of research software on the basis of a locally operated Gitlab instance, as well as supporting scientists in their use. The support includes, among other things, training, hands-on consultation, and the production of best practice documents.
In the medium and long term, in addition to the further development of the structures and services described above, the focus is on the support of software projects including open source software developed at WIAS or with the collaboration of WIAS members. The focus is on consulting on scientific software libraries and documentation tools, on the implementation of FAIR principles in software development and in research data management. The structured on-boarding/off-boarding of scientists who start their work at WIAS or leave the institute is to be supported, as well as the securing of their results available in the form of software and research data. The same applies to third-party funded projects.
