Opportunities at Rutherford Appleton

Posted on by

I have been sent the following email. RAL is a great place to work and has taken Aber IY students many times before.

I’m Nick Draper a project manager at the ISIS facility of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, just south of Oxford. As part of our project we offer several year-long industrial placements each year for undergraduates to join our team developing scientific software to support the data analysis at the ISIS neutron and muon facility. This scheme has been running for several years and we get excellent feedback from our students every year about the training and experience we offer.

We have four placements to offer for next year out of a group of 4 students and are keen to find the right students to work with. These posts are programming roles for scientific software, so we are after those students where programming is a real talent and have an interest in science and a willingness to learn.

I’ve attached a job description to this email and the link for applications is below, and I hope you can help us with this, the closing date for student applications is the 24th of October.

Lewis Dale on the ACS jobs Facebook page says: Stevenson Astrosat are currently looking for software engineers to come and work at their Edinburgh offices.

I’m currently doing an internship there, and the work is really interesting; it’s using satellite data for a variety of uses, including disaster recovery.

If this sounds interesting to you, send a CV and a small portfolio of work over to info@astrosat.biz, ir if you would like a bit more information feel free to drop me a message.

They really are a great company to work for, and you would be just in time to move into their new office, a newly-refurbished church in the centre of Musselburgh.
