Baylor College of Medicine
Senior Scientific Programmer
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, United States, 77246
Location: Texas Medical Center, Houston, TXSalary Range: $67,704 - $78,514FLSA 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 talented senior scientific programmer to design advanced microscopy and image analysis software for the life science community. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to utilize their skills to develop cutting-edge technologies of value to human health while being part of an enjoyable workplace.Job Duties
Develop and modify complex software for imaging data acquisition and analysis.Maintain and develop in-house scientific software.Develop or modify code for controlling microscope-based image acquisition.Develop or modify code for image analysis for fluorescence microscopy.Exemplar tasks include:Create new workflow for a process.Adapt existing algorithm to a workflow.Modify a workflow for bug fixing, adding or generalizing features.Refactor code for simplicity and speed.Translate code from one language to another.Develop graphical user interface.Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field. Four years of related experience may substitute for degree requirement.Three years of relevant experience.Preferred Qualifications
Masters in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Math, Physics, Biology or a related field (STEM and quantitative fields in general).Experience with MATLAB and/or Python programming (or other object-oriented programming languages such as C++).Experience in image processing and image analysis.Experience in collaborative coding and version control.Master's degree and one year of experience or PhD.Experience with one or more of the following would be desirable but not required:Relational (e.g. MySQL) or non-relational (MongoDB) databasing.Signal processing (filtering and feature detection).Machine learning.Computer vision (object detection and feature extraction).Hardware integration (e.g. Serial port communication, microcontrollers, closed-loop control).Fluorescence Microscopy.GPU computation (CUDA, Tensorflow/PyTorch).Baylor College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Equal Access Employer.Baylor College of Medicine fosters diversity among its students, trainees, faculty, and staff as a prerequisite to accomplishing our institutional mission and setting standards for excellence in training healthcare providers and biomedical scientists, promoting scientific innovation, and providing patient-centered care.
