Definition RSE

Essentially, RSEs combine expertise in software development and methodology with knowledge of one or more specific research domains. Depending on their role within the ecosystem, this label can be fulfilled by individuals from either the academic staff or the research support staff. While some individuals self-identify as an RSE, we also explicitly include other job titles or labels, such as "computational scientist", "researcher who codes", and "software engineer in a research environment". What unites these individuals is their commitment to supporting the sustainable development, deployment, use, sharing, and maintenance of research software.
