Data Scientist
Baylor College of Medicine, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States,
Location: Hybrid within Greater Houston, TXSalary Range: $75,150 - $87,149FLSA Status: ExemptWork Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.Summary
The St-Pierre Lab develops and applies new tools for perturbing and imaging the brain. We develop fluorescent indicators of neural activity (e.g., voltage indicators), light-gated proteins to control neural activity (e.g., optogenetic silencers), photostable fluorescent proteins (e.g., mGold YFP), and genetic circuits to control protein expression (e.g., Equalizers). We want to hire a Data Scientist to design advanced microscopy and image analysis software for the life science community. The Data Scientist will create exciting new features and improve analysis capabilities. You will work closely with lab members focusing on computational approaches (including machine learning) and with multiple experimentalists, utilizing your skills to develop cutting-edge technologies of value to human health while being part of an enjoyable workplace.Job Duties
