Description
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 [1], in particular by applying flood-fill networks [2] and their tensorflow implementation [3] 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 lab Ashburn, VA, US 4], among computer scientists and neuroscientists working together to map the wiring diagram of complete brains at synaptic resolution.
Interested candidates should email their CVs, hourly rate, a brief statement and the names of one or two references.
