论文摘要
本文分享了研究软件工程(RSE)社区的观点,可以在国家实验室景观中浏览。 RSE角色是一个最近的概念,导致组织挑战以放置和评估其影响,成本和收益。前提是,RSE自然而然地适合当前景观,可以在科学中使用传统的职业增长策略:出版物,社区参与和建议。资助RSE的项目可以从这种协同作用中受益,并在传统活动中包含。尽管如此,仍需要大量内省才能弥合迅速发展的RSE景观与科学中公认的沟通模式之间的差距。这种观点建立在高性能计算(HPC)环境中行业,学术和政府的互动上。目的是为RSE职业增长的对话做出贡献,并了解他们对科学项目和赞助商的投资回报。
This paper shares a perspective for the research software engineering (RSE) community to navigate the National Laboratory landscape. The RSE role is a recent concept that led to organizational challenges to place and evaluate their impact, costs and benefits. The premise is that RSEs are a natural fit into the current landscape and can use traditional career growth strategies in science: publications, community engagements and proposals. Projects funding RSEs can benefit from this synergy and be inclusive on traditional activities. Still, a great deal of introspection is needed to close gaps between the rapidly evolving RSE landscape and the well-established communication patterns in science. This perspective is built upon interactions in industry, academia and government in high-performance computing (HPC) environments. The goal is to contribute to the conversation around RSE career growth and understand their return on investment for scientific projects and sponsors.
