    • I think catagorizing anyone who develops software as an RSE is perhaps to broad. Many people create software as part of a more broad role that either includes other kinds of research or alternatively creating software that isn't research focussed.
    • Nein
    • Nein! RSE ist und sollte internationaler Standard sein, insb. für Vergleichbarkeit, da er umfassend genug ist, alle unter den vom UKRSE geprägten Begriff fallenden Rollen zu erfassen. Sonderwege wären nicht hilfreich.
    • Ni
    • Numerical Scientist, Computational Scientist
    • RAD - Research Application Developer
    • Research Software Developer
    • Researcher.
    • Scientific Coder
    • Scientist. Computer Scientist, if you must qualify.
    • Software Developer, the academic bits are overrated in the RSE role
    • Software Developing Researcher
    • Softwareentwickler
    • Systems Engineer
    • Techniker
    • academic software developer
    • für mich: Data Scientist
    • just Software Engineer. leave out the "research", it's not that special compared to industry software
    • what is RSE? I am a biologist writing code.
    • wissenschaftlicher Entwickler
