We are looking for a machine learning researcher who is enthusiastic about developing novel machine learning based analysis methods for large biological images and videos at the interface of cell biology and neuroscience. We are working closely with experimentalists and software engineers and you will be able to establish and design your own research project in tight collaboration with our and other labs, with access to excellent scientific and engineering support staff and resources. We are open source and open science enthusiasts, your work will contribute to popular open source packages and open data initiatives in the field.
Janelia Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn,
Virginia, where scientists pursue fundamental questions in neuroscience
and imaging. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) launched Janelia
in 2006, establishing an intellectually distinctive environment for
scientists to do creative, collaborative, hands-on work. Our
integrated teams of biologists, computational scientists, and
tool-builders pursue a small number of scientific questions with
potential for transformative impact. We share our methods, results, and
tools with the scientific community. It is a uniquely innovative and
collaborative atmosphere that reflects HHMI’s reputation for excellence.
