The Knowledge Futures Group is hiring a software developer to help us build PubPub[0], a collaborative and open publishing tool for the academic web. We want an internet full of publishing tools that empower researchers rather than preying on them and more fully capture the research process in the final product — so we're building one. PubPub already hosts over 500 books, conferences, and journals, from annotated editions of public-domain works[1] to cutting-edge German theology[2] to the Harvard Data Science Review[3]. Right now we're hard at work building features focused on editorial review, data portability, and institution-level scalability.

We are a small team looking for a full-stack web developer ready to work with a React frontend and a Node/Postgres backend. Lots of our engineering problems are related to performant, collaborative rich text editing and marshaling a pile of the publishing industry's tools and standards into a coherent user experience. The larger challenge of PubPub is to invent new, healthier social dynamics around publishing while meeting practical needs, so we're looking for folks eager to contribute to design- and product-level decisions toward that end as well.

As a member of the team you will also be a member of the Knowledge Futures Group, which is loosely based in Boston/Cambridge. But the PubPub product team spans the UK, the US, and India, and we are interested in honing a remote-first culture. If you're interested, please drop us a line: hello@pubpub.org

Successful candidates will work alongside a team of LCIMB machine learning researchers to develop new computer vision techniques applicable to large-scale 3D structural modeling of cells and organelles. Depending on interests and background, postbacs may assist in creating training data, developing software to enable microscopists to apply new research tools to their biological imaging problems, and conducting computer vision research of their own within the scope of our lab’s projects.

The postbaccalaureate program is open to recent college graduates who wish to spend 1-2 years doing research before continuing to graduate school. This program is open only to USA citizens or permanent residents. Please see the Eligibility heading at https://www.training.nih.gov/programs/postbac_irta for full eligibility criteria.

The ideal candidate will have a BA/BS in computer science, applied math, or a similar area, and will have prior experience in image processing, computer vision, and/or machine learning. Postbacs will be working on Linux workstations with Python and common scientific computing and deep learning libraries, so experience with these tools is preferred. Candidates should be able to effectively communicate their work to a multi-disciplinary research team of biologists, microscopists, and data scientists.

To apply, pplicants should complete the online postbac application at https://www2.training.nih.gov/apps/publicforms/pbt/forms/log.... Applicants should also contact Dr. Richard Leapman at leapmanr@mail.nih.gov to indicate their interest in joining our lab. Anyone with questions can message me at matthew.guay@nih.gov.
