[Neuroinfo] Open Position: Software Developer in Neuroinformatics at LMU Munich

[Thomas Wachtler]

At the German Neuroinformatics Node (G-Node, http://www.g-node.org),
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, a full-time position is available
to join the G-Node team in developing neuroinformatics solutions for
data management in neurophysiology. Variety and complexity of data in this
field bring the challenge of large-scale data access, consistent storage
and efficient data analysis. G-Node is interacting closely with research
labs to address these challenges with state of the art neuroinformatics
methods. Current developments include a data sharing platform and tools for
metadata management and data annotation. G-Node is part of the Bernstein
Network Computational Neuroscience (http://nncn.de), is collaborating
with the International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF,
http://incf.org) Secretariat and other INCF National Nodes, and is involved
in teaching and training activities.

The position involves working in a small team of developers within a
lively neuroscience environment, with ample opportunities for bridging
between neuroscience research and neuroinformatics. Tasks will include
contributing to the development and enhancement of G-Node tools and
services (http://www.g-node.org/tools-and-services), working closely
with neuroscience laboratories that use, or plan to use, neuroinformatics
solutions.

Candidates should have excellent programming skills, preferably in Python
and C++ or Java, knowledge about relational databases, the ability to work
in a team, and a strong interest in the development of novel open-source
solutions for neuroscience. Experience in further fields of relevance,
such as web development (Javascript, HTML/CSS, web frameworks), semantic
web technologies, scientific software and analysis, experimental or
computational neuroscience, would be beneficial.

The position is available immediately, salary level is according to TV-L,
duration is one year with possibility of extension.

Severely disabled applicants will be given preference in case of equal
qualification. Applications by women are specifically encouraged.

Applications should include CV, statement of experience and motivation,
