e-Science Core Programme Senior Research Fellow

对e-Science的投资为英国的研究项目带来了巨大的推动力，但它有潜力做得更多。只有在我们持续发展协作和合作研究行为的情况下，这种潜力才能在英国实现。事实上，我们希望将其扩展到更多的参与者，以便所有研究人员、设计师和决策者都能够轻松掌握先进的电子基础设施。这需要继续合作，以建立这种电子基础设施。它需要持续的研发，以激发和测试关于如何最好地利用电子基础设施的想法，它需要承诺继续提供电子基础设施，以便用户能够承诺使用它。作为e-Science特使，这一职位将鼓励e-Science在英国继续发展。作为研究员，该研究员将处理有关长期使用的电子基础设施的策略性设计问题，这些问题必须在提供稳定和持续的服务的同时经历渐进的变化，并涉及长期和跨多个不同行政领域的可靠信息处理。这项工作需要与调试、规划、开发、运营和使用先进的电子基础设施的社区、组织和政府机构积极参与。这种参与必须覆盖英国所有相关部门，而且必须是国际性的，因为就像电话和互联网一样，e-Infrastructure必须是国际性的，因为那些将使用它一起工作的人分布在许多国家。

The investment in e-Science has delivered a huge impetus to UK research programmes but it has the potential to do much more. This potential will be realised in the UK only if we sustain the development of collaborative and cooperative research behaviour. Indeed we wish to extend it to far more participants, so that all researchers, designers and decision makers have the power of advanced e-Infrastructure at their finger tips. This requires continued collaboration to build that e-Infrastructure. It requires continued R&D to stimulate and test ideas about how best to exploit e-Infrastructure and it needs a commitment to sustain the provision of e-Infrastructure so that users can commit to it. As the e-Science Envoy, this post will encourage the continued development of e-Science within the UK. As a researcher, the Fellow will tackle strategic design issues concerning long-lived e-Infrastructure, which must undergo incremental change while delivering a stable and continuous service and concerning the reliable handling of information over long periods and across multiple heterogeneous administrative domains.This work will require pro-active engagement with the communities, organisations and government bodies that are commissioning, planning, devloping, operating and using advanced e-Infrastructure. This engagement must reach all relevant sectors of the UK and must be international, as, just like telephones and the Internet, e-Infrastructure must be international, because those who will work together using it are spread across many nations.
