The National Alliance for Medical Imaging Computing (NA-MIC) is a
multi-institutional, interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, software
engineers, and medical investigators who develop computational tools for the
analysis and visualization of medical image data. The purpose of the center
is to provide the infrastructure and environment for the development of
computational algorithms and open source technologies, and then oversee the
training and dissemination of these tools to the medical research community.

We are seeking applications for a software engineering position. The
successful applicant will be working alongside a team of neuroscientists
investigating  the impact of schizophrenia and Velocardiofacial syndrome on
brain morphology and function.
