Department: | Neural Dynamics - Scientific Computing |
Software Engineer II – Image Registration – Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics
The mission of the Allen Institute is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health. Using an open science, multi-scale, team-oriented approach, the Allen Institute focuses on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a broad, transformational impact on science.
The mission of the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics is to answer fundamental questions about brain function. Specifically, how does our brain build our understanding of the complex world around us to guide the flexible behaviors that address our biological needs? The answers will be in terms of defined neuron types interacting across the whole brain and body, requiring us to develop next-generation neurotechnologies and employ a team-based approach for discovery neuroscience. Knowledge, data, and tools will be widely shared, in part to support the development of therapies for brain disorders.
We are seeking a machine vision software engineer to join a program to understand the long-range connectivity patterns of neurons whose activity underlies complex behavior and decision-making. In this role, the candidate will build robust, scalable image processing and analysis pipelines. A key component of these pipelines is multimodal image registration between individuals and standardized coordinate systems. The ideal candidate will be focused on scientific and technical excellence, highly motivated, agile and team-oriented.
The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences and backgrounds. Progress in science benefits from multiple perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.
