Summary:
The Centre for Computational Imaging and Simulation Technologies in
Biomedicine (CISTIB) at the University of Sheffield is part of INSIGNEO
Institute for in silico Medicine. CISTIB focuses on algorithmic and applied
research in the areas of computational imaging, modelling and simulation.
CISTIB is working at the interface between different areas of computational
imaging and modelling: medical analysis, statistical shape analysis, pattern
recognition, image-based computational physiology, and personalised virtual
interventions. The centre hosts academic members from the University of
Sheffield as well as Research Fellows, Research Associates, PhD Students and
Scientific Software Developers forming a cross-disciplinary team.

The Scientific Software Developer (SSD) provides services and expertise
relating to the development of codes and software applications used by
CISTIB researchers. The team works with researchers across the group to
develop best practice for research programming. The SSD will be a critical
contributor to the implementation of CISTIB´s Scientific Software
Development Roadmap, aimed at managing the implementation of software
technologies necessary to support portfolio of CISTIB projects, and which
provides software tools and systems aligned with CISTIB research, along with
industrial and clinical translation strategies.

The ideal candidate shall have considerable experience in scientific
software development and clinical software prototyping in one or several of
the research and clinical areas of expertise relevant to CISTIB. The
successful candidate will be experienced in software engineering practices
ranging from gathering software and system requirements, all the way up to
designing, testing, coding, integrating, releasing, deploying and
maintaining object oriented software, primarily in C++. Additional
experience in IT system administration and frameworks for effective software
engineering will be highly valued. Previous experiences in the area of
software development related to the Virtual Physiological Human initiative
will be positively evaluated, but are not mandatory. The ideal candidate
will be experienced in working as a member of a collaborative development
group, sharing a common vision and goals on an environment open to
continuous improvement.

This post is fixed-term for 3 years.
