We are looking for a Research Software Engineer to join the FSL development team at WIN. WIN conducts research in methods to acquire and model brain imaging data, including functional MRI, diffusion MRI, structural MRI and MR spectroscopy. WIN members have developed the widely used FMRIB Software Library (FSL), which enables the methods created within WIN to have a worldwide impact on the neuroimaging community.
The post holder will work closely with MRI physics and analysis researchers to develop neuroimaging software aimed at neuroscientists and clinical researchers. They will be embedded in an existing, small but experienced team of research software engineers, forming the FSL team. The core duties will be software development activities to enhance existing software for widespread use, including building user interfaces for non-experts around core image processing tools, handling large datasets automatically, and specialist visualisation software. There is also scope for developing new software for neuroimaging analysis, contributing to ongoing and new research projects, building software test systems, and maintain existing software projects as required. This role involves interacting with software engineers, researchers, clinicians, and external end-users. Excellent communication skills and an interest in learning the foundations of neuroimaging are essential.
This post is full time and fixed term until 30th November 2027.
