One research engineer position in image processing is available within the Institut de Neuroscience des Systemes (INS) at Aix-Marseille University under direction of Prof. Viktor Jirsa. We are seeking highly motivated individuals interested in working on high-performance and high-throughput challenges related to connectome-based modeling using high performance and accelerated computing (HPAC) platforms in the Human Brain Project (HBP) (https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/) and The Virtual Brain (TVB) (http://www.thevirtualbrain.org). Recent models developed based on TVB are being tested in an ongoing clinical trial and should be generalized, optimized, integrated with other modeling efforts and deployed through the HBP HPAC platforms to researchers within the HBP and wider European community.

Responsibilities including interfacing with other HBP groups to deploy the TVB software to HPAC infrastructure, build integrations with other HPAC services and co-simulation with other simulators and help implement gradient calculations to support newer machine learning workflows.

Candidates should have a PhD or engineering diploma in a relevant field experience solving scientific problems in Python, MATLAB or similar, knowledge of relevant gradient-based statistics or machine learning techniques, experience with shared Linux HPC systems and fluent technical English.

The contract is 1 year, renewable to 3 years, with salary based on experience. Please contact Mrs Lisa Otten (lisa.otten@univ-amu.fr) with a letter of motivation and CV, and arrange for two letters of reference.
