Presentation
Developing Personas and Programs to Enable Research Software Engineers to Specialize in High Performance Computing
DescriptionMany research software engineers (RSEs) come to high performance computing (HPC) after previously pursuing a related degree, and receiving on-the-job experience as part of a PhD or junior staff position. If we are to increase the diversity of RSEs working in HPC, we need to examine different routes for people, particularly those from non-traditional HPC backgrounds, to obtain the formal education and training needed for them to have a successful career. The UNIVERSE-HPC project has been developing personas, career pathways and a proposed master's-level programme for people looking to become RSEs specializing in HPC or large-scale data science. In this lightning talk, we introduce the pillars of this programme, and discuss some of the challenges in developing a balanced programme given the relatively short duration of UK master's courses.
