Job description

As a member of our team, you will further develop machine learning models and algorithms into software that can be used for solving real-world problems in science, industry and society. Responsibilities entail the creation of software that conforms to industry standards, making software accessible; dissemination of this software via online platforms including cloud services; execution of software on high-performance computing clusters, aiding end-users in applying the software; and porting of software to other computing platforms (e.g. edge computing, FPGA's, neuromorphic hardware). Part of this position (0.6 FTE) is funded by the DBI2  Gravitation programme, of which you will also be an active member. In this context, software development will entail the development of AI solutions in the context of neuroscience and neurotechnology. The other part of this position (0.4 FTE) is funded by the Donders Centre for Cognition. In this context, software development will entail the development of AI solutions in several other domains such as e.g. healthcare, robotics, high-tech industry, STEM and sustainability.
