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.
