Further information on SPHIRE is available at: http://sphire.mpg.de<http://sphire.mpg.de/>.

Joining this team will provide you with the benefit of working closely in a dynamic and international environment involving scientists from a variety of academic fields. You will be expected to work on existing SPHIRE modules, as well as introducing new innovations to the framework. In particular, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the research and development of topics including: machine/deep learning, image processing, parallel processing and data visualization. Our code is primarily written in Python but individual modules may also require C++ or CUDA integration.

Qualifications and Experience

You hold a postgraduate degree in computer science or in an equivalent discipline with at least four years of experience as a professional software developer. You apply best practices of modern software development such as unit testing, source control (git), and build management. You communicate fluently in English, both written and verbal. You routinely produce clean and maintainable code and appreciate the value of clear documentation. Previous experience in scientific software development and handling of biological data would be an advantage.

Your responsibilities

Your primary responsibilities include:

  *   Revising and modernizing the internal software architecture of SPHIRE
  *   Identifying and implementing new cutting-edge algorithms
  *   Designing new SPHIRE modules
  *   Maintaining existing SPHIRE modules

Working at the MPI

The internationally renowned MPI of Molecular Physiology in Dortmund is well-equipped and will provide you with all the high-end gadgets you need for your work as a developer. The SPHIRE framework is currently used to produce results on the cutting edge of structural biochemistry. You will be surrounded by highly motivated developers and scientists from all over the world, employing a wide range of both technical and scientific expertise.

Payment

We offer full-time employment in a modern, international work environment. The position is to be filled immediately and is initially limited for three years. Remuneration is paid in accordance with the collective agreement of the public service (TVöD Bund), taking account your qualifications and professional experience. In addition, social benefits correspond to those of public service.

Application

The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

Please send your CV, two references, and a statement outlining your relevant work experience until September 30 to Stefan Raunser at raunser-jobsearch at mpi-dortmund.mpg.de<mailto:raunser-jobsearch at mpi-dortmund.mpg.de>
