Job Description:
The Ölveczky group http://olveczkylab.oeb.harvard.edu , a Neuroscience lab in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and the Center for Brain Science at Harvard University, is seeking a Scientific Programmer to build and maintain our computational infrastructure. You will be an integral member of a collegial research team focused on solving some intriguing mysteries of the brain through cutting-edge research. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in scientific programming, database management and an interest in Neuroscience. Our research focuses on: -Uncovering the neural circuits that allow us to learn and execute motor skills. We use rodents as a model system and train our experimental subjects on various motor tasks, while measuring and manipulating activity in the underlying neural circuits. -We develop automated and high-throughput methods for recording and manipulating the nervous systems. In particular we have pioneered a system for continuous and long-term recording of large neuronal populations in behaving animals. -We are also developing new data analysis approaches to extract information from the large data sets we acquire. This position will work with Harvard’s Research Computing http://rc.fas.harvard.edu team and the Ölveczky research team to build and maintain a computational infrastructure capable of supporting our research. Duties will include: -managing and optimizing large-scale multi petabyte data storage solutions. -writing software to port data from existing databases. -working with researchers to update and augment the software infrastructure for continuous long-term neural and behavioral recordings. -develop new analytical methods for large-scale data analysis, and their efficient software implementation. Basic Qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree in computer science or related field. Five years of professional experience in software engineering with emphasis on scientific programming, database management and/or data science. Additional Qualifications: Experience with SQL, C#, F#, Python, and Matlab desiredFront-end web development/javascript is a plus (e.g. react, ember, angular, etc) as well as any back-end web tools e.g. flask, RoR, or node. The group works extensively with Python libraries such as Numpy, Scipy, Pandas, Rdkit, and iPython/Jupyter. Devops experience with puppet and containers will be an advantage, as will experience with large scale file system and data management techniques. Research computing will collaborate extensively on operations.
Additional Info:
This position is funded for three years from date of hire, with the possibility of renewal. All formal written offers will be made by FAS HR.
