## Alternative Routes to Becoming a Research Software Engineer: The Role of Doctorate and Essential Skills

_Session leader: Joanne Sheppard_

Research Software Engineering (RSE) is a field that requires a diverse range of
skills, including software development, data management, and research methods.
However, there is no single route to becoming an RSE, and the value of obtaining
a doctorate in this field is often debated. This panel brings together experts
in the field of RSE to discuss alternative routes to becoming an RSE, the role
of obtaining a doctorate, and the essential skills that are necessary for
success in this field.

The panel will explore the benefits and drawbacks of different paths to becoming
an RSE, including formal education programs, on-the-job training, and self-taught
skills. We will also examine the value of obtaining a doctorate in this field,
including the advantages and disadvantages of a PhD versus a master's degree or
other formal qualifications.

In addition, the panel will discuss the skills that are most important for an
RSE, such as programming languages, software development practices,
project management, and communication. We will consider how these skills can be
developed and measured, and how they can be used to evaluate and recruit RSEs.

Overall, this panel aims to provide a comprehensive and insightful discussion
of the different routes to becoming an RSE, the role of obtaining a doctorate
in this field, and the essential skills that are necessary for success.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the field of RSE and the skills
required to excel in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
