About the role

Role focused on building and maintaining an image-analysis core to turn image series into reliable measurements across platforms, with emphasis on image registration, workflow development, validation, and integration with acquisition and reconstruction pipelines.

Responsibilities

  • Develop image-based methods and scan strategies to locate wells and match brain imaging planes for repeatable probe positioning.
  • Build analysis workflows for object and peak detection, background subtraction, drift correction, and response metrics such as rise and fall times.
  • Develop and validate registration methods for reconstructed image series, quantifying motion and alignment accuracy.
  • Develop registration methods to align ultrasound images with MRI and other anatomical references for imaging and targeting workflows.
  • Agree metric definitions and acceptance criteria with scientists, including accuracy, repeatability, and failure conditions.
  • Rigorously validate analysis methods with reference measurements, controls, and regression tests, assessing signal preservation and repeatability.
  • Improve and maintain tested, documented Python tools that scientists can run independently.
  • Integrate analysis methods with acquisition and reconstruction workflows and optimize runtime and memory use for large image datasets.

Qualifications

  • Experience developing or substantially improving quantitative image-analysis workflows used by others.
  • Strong practical image-processing and spatial-reasoning skills, including detection and image registration.
  • Sound numerical and signal-processing judgment about how sampling, filtering, and correction affect measured responses.
  • Strong scientific Python skills and experience maintaining tested, documented software.
  • Practical judgment about runtime and memory use in image-analysis workflows.
  • A disciplined approach to validation and honest reporting of uncertainty, limitations, and failures.
  • Experience turning ambiguous scientific requests into useful workflows with the people who use them.
