HHMI's Janelia Research Campus is hiring a Scientific Computing Associate (SCA) to develop scientific web applications. Janelia is a unique self-funded research institute engaged in pioneering scientific research. We have a beautiful campus, great benefits and amenities, and a supportive environment for early career developers.
Our SCA program is an alternative to a traditional postdoc and provides an ideal environment for establishing your career in computational research or industry. If you don't have a graduate degree but otherwise this seems like a perfect fit, please apply anyway! We make exceptions to the program requirements for exceptional candidates.
Our software engineering team at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus is hiring a research software engineer to develop web applications supporting our primary research areas in neuroscience and 4D cellular physiology. Janelia is an internally funded non-profit research campus, and our team provides shared software development services to the labs and projects. Some examples of web applications we have developed in the past include https://neuronbridge.janelia.org and https://neuprint.janelia.org. We favor modern approaches and frameworks like React and Next.js.
We have a beautiful campus in northern Virginia. New hires need to relocate to the area and be able to come to campus when needed, but the work from home policy is very flexible.
Compensation range is commensurate with experience:
Janelia Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Virginia, where scientists pursue fundamental questions in neuroscience, cell biology, and imaging. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) launched Janelia in 2006, establishing an intellectually distinctive environment for scientists to do creative, collaborative, hands-on work.
Janelia recently launched a new Open Science Software Initiative with the goal of supporting and extending open source software for the scientific community. We are looking for developers who are excited about supporting transformative scientific discovery and building bleeding edge software for solving challenges in image processing, machine learning, and more.
We have many different types of positions available, including Scientific Computing Associates, which are an alternative to a traditional post-doc. You can learn more about the Open Science Software Initiative and view available positions here: https://www.janelia.org/node/67979

For those who don't recognise Janelia, I suggest (in a good way) looking it up (HHMI is Howard Hughes Medical Institude, my connection is tenuous as a contractor to a supplier to Janelia).
This is definitely a fun little project to hack on! I created a pull request to keep the current state in the URL. Here's something I made with it:
