The Howard Hughes Medical Institute‘s Janelia Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Virginia, where scientists pursue fundamental questions in the life sciences. Our integrated teams of biologists, computational scientists, and tool-builders innovate research practices and technologies to solve biology‘s deepest mysteries. HHMI launched Janelia in 2006, establishing an intellectually enriching environment for scientists to do creative, collaborative, hands-on work. We share our methods, results, and tools with the scientific community.

About the role:

The Mechanistic Cognitive Neuroscience NeuroEngineering Team (MCN-NET) serves as a resource across all MCN labs at Janelia, designing, developing, and deploying groundbreaking engineering tools to further the capabilities of neuroscience research. This position is highly collaborative, with project scopes spanning the needs of different labs and teams. The NeuroEngineer must have strong knowledge of the relevant engineering field‘s basic concepts, practices, and procedures, and will be expected to coordinate efforts between MCN labs and Janelia support teams, especially Janelia Experimental Technology and Scientific Computing. Additionally, this role will support Janelia Open Science by creating rigorous documentation for broadly useful tools. The ideal MCN NeuroEngineer candidate will be passionate about supporting significant scientific endeavors and have some experience bridging and communicating across engineering and neuroscience fields. We are currently searching for an MCN NeuroEngineer with a background in developing optical tools for neuroscience research.

What we provide:

  • A research setting that fosters close collaboration between tool builders and biologists.

  • Access to world-class engineering and research facilities.

  • Mentoring and training from experts in diverse fields.

  • The opportunity to support high-impact scientific research across multiple labs.

  • A healthy work-life balance, with on-site childcare, free gyms, on-campus housing, vibrant social and dining spaces, and shuttle-bus service

What you‘ll do:

  • Design, develop, build, and test a wide variety of engineering tools and systems to support neuroscience research with project scopes spanning multiple labs.

  • Identify and understand the needs of scientific researchers to develop project requirements and specifications. This will require interfacing with MCN labs and identifying end users who will use the engineering tools post-development.

  • Work collaboratively with MCN labs and Janelia support teams, coordinating project sub-tasks with support teams as needed.

  • Support Janelia Open Science through documentation and resource availability for developed tools.

  • Communicate regularly with end-user labs, providing periodic status updates, as needed.

  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously and effectively prioritize tasks.

What you bring:

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. degree in neuroscience, optical engineering, or a related field.

  • 3+ years of experience in a neuroscience research setting.

  • Hands-on experience designing, assembling, and testing optical systems, specifically systems used in neuroscience research.

  • Ability to characterize and debug the performance of imaging systems.

  • Programming skills in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent.

  • Ability to translate needs of scientific researchers into project requirements and specifications.

  • Demonstrated broad problem-solving abilities and flexibility. Projects are expected to span multiple engineering and scientific areas.

  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively across multiple groups.

In your application, please list 3 professional references.
