OME Software Developer
Department of Biochemistry, South Parks Road, Oxford
Grade 8: £37,012 - £44,166 p.a.

We are seeking to appoint a software developer to work as part of a 
unique, world-leading collaborative academic software research and 
development project (the Open Microscopy Environment) that is changing 
the way bioscience works. This is an exciting stage of the project, 
where the core functionality that has already been built can be 
delivered to large numbers of end users and integrated with a whole 
ecosystem of complementary tools including: ImageJ2/Fiji, KNIME, 
CellProfiler, Matlab and many others.

Candidates should have a strong software development track record and be 
comfortable working in a collaborative environment. They should hold a 
relevant degree with post-qualification software development experience: 
familiarity with client/server and/or image-related application 
development are especially desirable. The ideal candidate would possess 
strong object-oriented programming skills, preferably in python and/or 
java; and have significant experience with unix-based software 
development and SQL database applications. Open source development 
expertise, particularly using github, would be advantageous, as would 
familiarity with some of the project's other core technologies: ZeroC’s 
ICE, C/C++, Django, PyTables, XML, TIFF images. An academic background 
related to imaging or computer vision would also be considered a plus. 
Given the large number of technologies and disciplines involved in this 
project, the position will be an excellent opportunity to learn new skills.

This full-time post is available from the 1 April 2012. It is funded by 
the Wellcome Trust for up to 3 years in the first instance and is under 
the direction of Professor Ilan Davis.

Please quote reference number BR/497 when applying and include a cv and 
a supporting statement.

The closing date for applications is midday on Friday 23 March 2012 with 
interviews for shortlisted candidates approximately two weeks later.
