[Insight-users] Sofware Engineer Position (Junior)

[Arnaud GELAS]

*Software Engineer*

The Megason Laboratory in the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard 
Medical School seeks to hire a Software Engineer for participating in 
the continued development of GoFigure. The lab's goal is to understand 
embryonic development as the execution of a program in our genome. We 
seek to upload embryonic development into a virtual life form called the 
Digital Fish through the use of genetics, molecular imaging, and 
information technology (www.digitalfish.org). The Software Engineer will 
be responsible for participating in the continued development of the 
principle software application for this endeavor called GoFigure. 
GoFigure recognizes and tracks cells in extremely large 4-dimensional 
(xyzt) image sets and digitizes that data into a database. GoFigure is 
written in C++, is cross-platform and uses Qt, MySQL, VTK (the 
Visualization Toolkit), ITK (Insight Segmentation and Registration 
Toolkit), CMake. The project is managed using Subversion, Doxygen for 
documentation generation, CTest and CDash for testing. The successful 
applicant should have a strong background in programming and work well 
in an academic environment. Interests in application development, image 
processing, microscopy, and systems biology are also a plus.
