and wrapping technologies (Boost.Python, Cython)

Profile:
. Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, physics or
equivalent
. Successful development track record making significant contributions to
software projects
. Experience with software design and maintenance of medium-scale projects

What we offer: An internationally visible and rising project in
simulation-based research in neurorobotics using supercomputers and
neuromorphic hardware. A young, dynamic, inter-disciplinary, and international
working environment

Start date: 01.10.2013. Deadline for application: position open until filled
Duration of contract: 1 year, renewable
Activity rate: 100%
