[visionlist] Computer scientist or Scientific programmer in the Department of Neural Systems and Coding

[Friedrich Kretschmer]

  Computer scientist or Scientific programmer

The Max Planck Institute for Brain Research 
<https://www.mpg.de/151405/hirnforschung?section=all> in Frankfurt am 
Main, Germany, is an innovative and growing research facility of the Max 
Planck Society for the Advancement of Science.

The Department of Neural Systems and Coding 
<https://brain.mpg.de/research/laurent-department.html> (Prof. Dr. Dr. 
Gilles Laurent) is part of the interdisciplinary neuroscience campus in 
Frankfurt/Riedberg where the new MPI building is located. Research in 
the Department aims to understand the physiology of perception with an 
experimental focus centered on neural computation, neuronal coding and 
integration.

To support our international team of biologists, computer scientists and 
physicists, we invite applications for a full time staff position 
as Computer scientist or Scientific programmer, starting as soon as 
possible, initially with a fixed-term contract for two years.


    Your profile & our requirements

We seek a self-driven and interactive individual with the following 
skill set:

  * advanced programming skills and strong understanding of OOP concepts
  * strong experience working with MATLAB or Python.
  * proficient understanding of code versioning tools
  * practical knowledge of best coding practices
  * experience with management, storage and access of large datasets
  * cross platform development for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms.

Applicants should be familiar with a scientific environment. Knowledge 
of computational neuroscience and practice in other programming 
languages (C, C++, R), as well as computer vision, image processing, 
object recognition, automatic processing and control of behavioral 
experiments would be of advantage.

Candidates are expected to hold a degree in a quantitative field 
involving computational work, such as computer science, physics, applied 
math, electrical engineering or comparable research experience. Graduate 
work at Masters or PhD level (science exposure) is a plus.


    Our offer

We offer a competitive salary based on the collective wage agreement for 
government service wWorkers (TVöD Bund) depending on qualifications and 
professional experience as well as various fringe benefits in accordance 
with public service provisions. You can expect an interesting,
