HHMI Janelia | Software Engineer (computer vision) | Ashburn, Virginia | Fulltime | Onsite
We are looking to hire a software engineer for at least one year to work on the implementation of automatic neuronal arbor reconstruction from volumes of electron microscopy: a central problem in the emerging field of large-scale cellular connectomics.
The work will be centered on bringing automation to the software CATMAID[0], in particular by applying flood-fill networks and their tensorflow implementation[1] to build a workflow that will speed up the work of dozens of laboratories already using CATMAID for computer-assisted yet manual reconstruction of neurons for mapping wiring diagrams with synaptic resolution.
The engineer will be embedded in the Cardona lab at Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus[2], among computer scientists and neuroscientists working together to map the wiring diagram of complete brains at synaptic resolution.
Optionally, solve an open GitHub issue for CATMAID, submit a pull request, and include this with your CV and statement. Applications including a pull request for an issue will be given priority consideration.
