About the role

You will be part of ARC’s community of staff scientists and research technology professionals, both delivering the services and systems which make data and compute-intensive research possible, and discovering and innovating new tools, practices, and systems in this field.


For this post, we would like to hear from applicants with expertise in LLMs and DevOps.


Our positioning as a hybrid of a research institute and service centre means these activities will be synergistic and you will play a key role in developing and maintain technical or domain specialisms. This could mean building on your background to remain close to the research life of one or more of the academic disciplines we collaborate with ( via honorary membership of an academic department) or engaging closely with the technology professional communities related to a platform, tool, or language that you focus on.


Alongside a hugely talented team, you will help to define a portfolio of responsibilities, a mixture of service delivery, research, innovation, and teaching activities according to your own preferences and skills, and appropriate to your level of seniority.


A fantastic opportunity!

PhD Degree OR equivalent professional expertise appropriate to the role. This is a role in a research community and we are great believers in the value of research degrees.

Experience with the core tools of data science and analytics, in a programmatic framework such as R, Python, or Julia.
Experience with LLMs and DevOps
Advanced knowledge of statistics and mathematics applied to acquiring reliable insight from data.
