The Department of Physics seeks to appoint a motivated Research Software Engineer within the Elementary Particle Physics (EPP) Group at the University of Warwick. The successful candidate will work on the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment in the Neutrino Physics Group. This position is supported by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and the UK Research Innovation (UKRI) and is initially for 2 years. The position is available for an immediate start with a current funding end date of 31 March 2026.

The successful candidate will work with Dr Ben Richards on the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. This experiment is in the construction phase, with Warwick responsible for part of the development of the data acquisition systems (DAQ), slow control, web monitoring front end and backend to be installed in Hyper-Kamiokande. The successful candidate will be expected to help deliver the monitoring and control systems interfaces and support the installation and integration of the DAQ.

This is an exciting time to become involved with one of the next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments from the start.

We are looking for something with experience in:

• Back-end and UX/UI web development
• experience in HTML, JavaScript, C++ and Python
• Linux, networking and systems administration
• Hardware and software systems testing/benchmarking

Experience in building and operating DAQ/control systems would be helpful.

The applicant will have strong communication skills and will be capable of working both independently and as part of a team. The candidate should expect to spend time in Japan helping with the installation and commissioning program for Hyper-Kamiokande and to attend meetings outside of normal working hours.

For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Ben Richards via email: benjamin.richards@warwick.ac.uk.

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
