I'm looking for an image processing scientist/computer programmer to 
help with our expanding biological electron tomography projects here at 
Caltech.  We are currently imaging many specimens including cells, 
viruses, and purified protein complexes with a state-of-the-art 300kV, 
helium-cooled, energy-filtered, automated, FEG TEM.  We are in the 
process now of purchasing a large new supercomputer for the structural 
biology groups.  Duties would include applying existing programs as well 
as developing new software for image processing needs, handling large 
amounts of image data, managing processes on our supercomputer, working 
with students to help them solve image processing problems, and being a 
creative member of a growing scientific team.  Minimum qualifications 
are a bachelor’s degree, strong programming skills, mathematical 
aptitude, an ability to work well with others, and enthusiasm for 
biology research.  Graduate education or extended experience in related 
fields is preferred.  Interested persons seeking either a post-doctoral 
position or a permanent staff position are encouraged to apply.  Salary 
will be commensurate with qualifications.  CalTech is located in 
Pasadena, California (a suburb of Los Angeles) next to the San Gabriel 
mountains, and offers an extraordinarily rich intellectual environment 
for computationally-inclined scientists, all within a sunny, affordable, 
diverse community that will make you want to stay.  Please send CV and 
three letters of reference to this email address or
