[vox-jobs] Position for a Scientific Programmer in C++/Linux

[Wolfgang Maass]

Position for a Scientific Programmer

We have at our Institute in Graz an opening for a scientific programmer, 
who will
develop efficient software for the parallel simulation of large neural 
circuits, and
for carrying out learning experiments with such circuits. This software 
will replace
and extend earlier software described on  http://www.lsm.tugraz.at/

This work will be carried out in collaboration with Dr. Thomas 
Natschlaeger,
in the framework of the 4-year EU Research project FACETS
http://www.kip.uni-heidelberg.de/facets/public/
The goal of this research project is the development of detailed large 
scale models
of neural circuits and areas, whose properties will be explored through 
simulations
on a Blue Gene Supercomputer and on new special-purpose hardware.
The salary for this position will be competitive.

We are looking for a programmer who has the abstraction capability to 
design interfaces
between different software components, and the skill and dedication 
needed for writing
software that runs efficiently. We also expect experience in software 
development
in C++ and Linux, as well as experience in writing parallel software 
(multithreading
and interprocess communication).

Interest or knowledge in computational neuroscience and/or machine learning
would be helpful
(in the case of  scientific interest in these areas,  a simultaneous 
participation
in our Phd-Program is possible).

Send your application  by October 10 to
