Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is currently seeking a Computational Science Analyst with expertise in full stack web development and automation to work on a web portal and posting pipeline for large images for the Brain Architecture Project in the Mitra lab. The candidate should be comfortable working in a Linux environment and distributed/networked computation and be able to participate in maintaining and growing a large storage and compute cluster. In order to understand how brains work, we need to understand their circuit connectivity. After a century of research this knowledge remains incomplete, so multiple research groups are now targeting this knowledge gap to fundamentally advance our understanding of brain function. The Brain Architecture Project is a collaborative effort aimed at creating an integrated resource containing knowledge about nervous system architecture in multiple species. The candidate will participate in an exciting fundamental neuroscience science project, while helping make advances in machine vision/learning in a big data environment using methods that are competitive in both academic and industrial environments.
* Building and maintaining web infrastructure handling large image data for the project.
