<p class="MsoNormal">Our neuroscience research team at University College London is generating petabyte-scale datasets, such as simultaneous recordings of tens of thousands of neurons, that provide an unprecedented opportunity to learn how the brain works.
We are looking for a data scientist to develop tools to harness this information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This position would suit graduates in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related field. Strong programming skills are essential (we mostly use Python and MATLAB), as well as experience with version control
systems. Knowledge of machine learning, digital image/signal processing, or relational databases is a plus.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No prior knowledge of biology or neuroscience is required, as the skills most essential for this position are data processing. This position would be an ideal opportunity for an individual interested in brain research to learn about this
fascinating subject. <o:p></o:p></p>
