Job Description
We are recruiting a Research Software Engineer to work between the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) Neuroinformatics Unit (NIU) and Advanced Microscopy facilities (AMF) to provide support for the analysis of light microscopy datasets.
The AMF provides support for all light microscopy at SWC including both in-vivo functional imaging within research laboratories and histological imaging performed within the facility itself. The facility provides histology and tissue clearing as a service, along with custom-built microscopes (lightsheet and serial-section two-photon) for whole-brain imaging.
The NIU (https://neuroinformatics.dev) is a Research Software Engineering team dedicated to the development of high quality, accurate, robust, easy to use and maintainable open-source software for neuroscience and machine learning. We collaborate with researchers and other software engineers to advance research in the two research centres and make new algorithms and tools available to the global community. The NIU leads the development of the BrainGlobe (https://brainglobe.info/) computational neuroanatomy initiative.
The aim of this position is to work in both the NIU and AMF to develop data processing and analysis software and advise researchers how best to analyse their data. The postholder will be embedded within both teams to help optimise all steps in the software development process.
