Senior Research Software Engineer (Neural and Behavioural Data)

Job Description

The SWC is pioneering open-source approaches (such as Aeon) to study behaviour and brain function over long time scales (days to weeks). Processing and analysing this data represents a considerable challenge due to the scale and the complexity of such long-term recordings (e.g. drift of electrophysiological recordings).

We are inviting applications for a research software engineer to be based in the Neuroinformatics Unit, working with the laboratories of Tom Mrsic-Flogel, Tiago Branco and Tim Behrens.

You will be responsible for developing, optimising, and using efficient tools to process and visualise large volumes of extracellular electrophysiological data (such as from Neuropixels probes) and behavioural data (such as from video recordings). This will include contributing to open-source packages such as SpikeInterface and Movement and implementing them within SWC pipelines (e.g. using DataJoint). A key part of the role will...
