Job Description

Work That Matters - Our work is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No one has more expertise treating children than Children#s Hospital Los Angeles. CHLA is the only children#s hospital in California to make the prestigious U.S. News # World Report Honor Roll of #Best# children#s hospitals, and is nationally ranked in all 10 pediatric specialties. Join a hospital where the work you do will matter#to you, to your colleagues, and above all, to our patients and families. At times the work may be challenging, but it is always rewarding. We hope you#ll come and find out for yourself. It#s Work That Matters. The purpose of this position is to provide computational research and development for image acquisition and processing in the translational research setting. Specifically, the incumbent will be expected to research potential approaches to imaging processing and image quantitation needs, assess potential approaches, and then implement them as software, hardware or combined solutions. Exquisite documentation of the process is expected. As such, an ability to write papers and grant applications in fluent English is necessary. Current ongoing projects include the implementation of fast centerline tree extraction and analysis on micro CT lung datasets, implementation of existing software on CUDA GPU hardware, the design of a process to store 2-photon microscopy datasets in a DICOM database, and implementation of a finite element or finite difference model of transport phenomena in the eye. We use a lean approach to medical science, so expect rapid pivots, which will require a great deal of flexibility and creativity on the part of the incumbent. A great deal of autonomy accompanies this position, so the incumbent must be able to perform the research and development tasks independently and efficiently. We are also multidisciplinary, so some knowledge of other fields will be appreciated, such as, but not limited to physics, applied mathematics, chemistry, design, art, literature, animation, biology, medicine, surgery, physiology, business development, systems engineering, and management systems. Minimum Education: A BS or BE with a demonstration of appropriate skills and abilities as would be acquired over several years of work in the field is acceptable. More typically we expect this position to require education at the MS or Ph.D. level. However, the primary criteria are proven ability to perform the highly technical tasks required by the job. Minimum Experience: #Five years of combined education and work experience are expected, but not explicitly required. However, demonstration of the skills described below is required, which would typically be acquired over the course of study of a Ph.D., or a master#s degree with additional work experience. Knowledge, skills, and abilities: Demonstrated skills in image processing software development. Demonstrated ability to manage software development projects and develop software, including project planning, code implementation, testing, and documentation.# Demonstrated the ability to code in at least two languages, such as C, Python, and Matlab.#
