Overview
Senior Research Operations Engineer – Strand, London, WC2R 2LS
About us
e-Research (soon to be known as Advanced Research Computing) at King’s College London is expanding with the mission to help enable and facilitate computational and data-intensive research across KCL Faculties.
We regularly add to our HPC cluster and Cloud infrastructure, making our environment highly heterogeneous. This means we get to work with a range of hardware, including the latest GPUs (e.g., B200, RTX 6000 Blackwell Pro, H200) and CPU architectures that, even if they increase complexity, generate the kinds of problems we love!
This role in our Operations Team provides support for the day-to-day running of the infrastructure and services provided by e-Research, as well as specialist assistance across the academic and research lifecycle across the full spectrum of faculties at King’s.
Details of the infrastructure and services provided by e-Research are available on https://docs.er.kcl.ac.uk
Early applications are encouraged, as we reserve the right to close the advert early if a high volume of suitable applications is received.
About the role
We encourage attendance to at least two conferences a year and personal development with an allocation of 10% of time dedicated to working on projects or activities that support professional development in a relevant field.
We are particularly looking for applicants who appreciate and can solve complex problems and are ready to step into technical leadership and shape culture.
Experience deploying AI models for practical or specific research purposes and familiarity with concepts such as RAG and MCP is also highly valued.
We also expect the capacity, with mentorship from senior members of the department, to be able to develop high-quality technical consultancy skills translating research requirements into costed funding proposals.
