Our newly created Division of Bioinformatics and Outcomes Research has immediate openings for scientifically-oriented programmers. We are developing software systems for clinical and research use, including storage and visualization of three-dimensional image datasets as well as radiation therapy dose distributions (see our web-page at http://radium.wustl.edu/cerr). The successful candidates would be involved in various projects which require software development, possibly including image visualization, data re-formatting, optimization techniques, parallel processing, database construction, and other aspects of radiation therapy treatment planning and outcomes research. Strong computational and mathematical skills are needed. The Dept. of Radiation Oncology has a large clinical service in the use of radiation to treat cancer, as well as a large, active, academic group involved in a full range of radiotherapy research activities. Helpful experience would include scientific programming (any language), matrix language programming (Python, Fortran90, Matlab, IDL, PVWave, or similar), related course work, and a strong interest in scientific programming. Beginning salary depends on experience and background. The positions begin as soon as July 1, 2005.

Interested candidates should e-mail a resume, including GPA if recently graduated or still a student.
