Frequently asked questions

What is a research software engineer?+

A research software engineer (RSE) develops software for research purposes — building tools, pipelines, simulations and platforms that enable scientific work. RSE is increasingly recognised as a career path distinct from both academia and industry software engineering, with dedicated positions at universities and research centres.

How do academic IT salaries compare to industry?+

Academic IT/software positions typically pay less than equivalent industry roles, but they offer advantages: interesting problems, flexible hours, job security (many are permanent), conference travel, and the ability to publish. In Switzerland and Germany, the gap is narrower than in other countries.
