Job Description
The Computational Neuroscience unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher or technician to contribute to the software development of the nanoscale simulator of neuronal electrophysiology and molecular properties STEPS. The software developer will join the STEPS team and contribute to maintenance and further expansion of the software capacities. Recent versions of STEPS improved its parallel performance and added modeling of vesicles. The ideal candidate will have a scientific background but also possess good programming skills, but experienced software engineers can also apply.
Requirements
- For the postdoctoral position a recent PhD is required in a relevant discipline such as neuroscience
- molecular biology
- biophysics
- biochemistry
- and for a technician a masters degree is required in a software/computer science related discipline. For either position
- we require a talented programmer with experience in C++ and Python. In satisfying these criteria
- it is expected that the candidate has some experience of modeling neuronal or other biological processes computationally
- but this is not essential if the candidate has a strong enough interest in moving into the field. Fluent English conversation and writing skills are required.
