posted 5 months ago
The St-Pierre Lab at Baylor College of Medicine is at the forefront of developing innovative tools for perturbing and imaging the brain. Our research focuses on creating advanced fluorescent indicators of neural activity, light-gated proteins for controlling neural activity, and photostable fluorescent proteins. We are seeking a Senior Scientific Programmer who will play a crucial role in designing and enhancing microscopy and image analysis software tailored for the life science community. This position offers the opportunity to work closely with a team of computational scientists and experimentalists, contributing to the development of cutting-edge technologies that have significant implications for human health. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and modifying complex software for imaging data acquisition and analysis. This includes maintaining and enhancing in-house scientific software, as well as developing code for controlling microscope-based image acquisition and image analysis specifically for fluorescence microscopy. The role will involve creating new workflows, adapting existing algorithms, refactoring code for efficiency, and translating code between programming languages. Additionally, the programmer will be tasked with developing a graphical user interface to facilitate user interaction with the software. This position is based at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, TX, and is an onsite role, with a work schedule from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. While the primary work arrangement is onsite, partial or full remote work may be considered for the right candidate. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in programming and a passion for applying their skills to advance scientific research in a collaborative and enjoyable environment.
