Dear colleagues,

the following position is available as-of October 2011:

Image analysis specialist / software developer at the Imaging Core Facility (IMCF) of the Biozentrum - Basel

The Imaging Core Facility (IMCF) is a newly established technology platform at the Biozentrum of the University Basel that offers access to high-end microscopy systems (confocal, wide-field etc.). The biological applications cover research areas including cellular biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, infection biology, neurobiology and developmental biology.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for an image analysis specialist / software developer with a strong interest in biological applications. You will be designing, implementing and testing new hardware/software solutions. You will work on long-term IT-strategies with the Institute’s Research IT technology platform. Typical tasks include macro-programming projects on our acquisition systems, scripting for data management tasks, as well as development and implementation of image/data processing solutions, typically based on common bio-medical toolkits like ImageJ/Fiji, CellProfiler, Imaris, etc. Furthermore, teaching image analysis software to facility users will also be an important part of this position. We collaborate with imaging facilities and staff scientists in-house and across Switzerland, and expect candidates to have well-developed social and networking skills and to enjoy collaborating with peers. The position is available as-of October 2011.

We are looking for an enthusiastic person with a Master or PhD degree in Computer Science, Physics, Biology or a related field, who has proven competence in image processing and development of user-friendly software using Java, Matlab, Python, R, and/or C++. Basic system administration expertise under Linux, Windows, and Mac OS operating systems is expected. Knowledge of external hardware (scientific instruments) controlling solutions is welcome. Good communication skills in English are essential.

The Biozentrum offers a cutting-edge research infrastructure, a highly international environment, and excellent working conditions. Please send your CV and the name/address of potential references (preferably in an electronic format) to:  [hidden email]

For best consideration apply by, October 14, 2011. The position will remain open until filled.

Best regards,
Oliver Biehlmaier
