Software Lead for Stanford's Neurogrid Project<br>
Brains in Silicon Lab / Clark Center / Bio-X<br>
<div><br>
Stanford's Department of Bioengineering seeks to hire a software
engineer or
computational scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Kwabena Boahen to lead
the software thrust of the lab’s NIH-funded Neurogrid project. The
project’s goal is to make it easy and affordable for neuroscientists to
perform simulations at a scale that can link cellular-level mechanisms
to the system-level functions that they enable, thereby accelerating
progress in brain research. You will join the team designing and
building Neurogrid, a specialized hardware platform that will emulate
(simulate in real-time) a million neurons in the cortex, together with
an extensible graphical user interface and scripting language for
(re)configuring the neurons’ properties and visualizing their activity.
Achieving seamless software-hardware interoperation will require the
software and hardware thrusts to collaborate closely. </div>
<div> <br>
Qualifications: BS in Computer Science (or related discipline)
and at least four years experience as a software engineer is required.
A MS or PhD in the sciences or engineering is preferred. A background
in professional scientific computing with specific expertise in
human-computer interaction is a strong plus. Excellent oral and written
communication skills are essential for this collaborative project.<br>
