Computer Scientists - GBRAIN Project

We are looking for motivated individuals who possess extensive expertise in all or some of the following fields:

- Distributed software environments and Grids
- Team based software development
- Ruby on Rails programming
- Advanced networking (International High-bandwidth links, Lightpaths)
- Database administration and optimization
- 3D visualization of large (Terabytes) datasets
- UNIX/Linux tools and environment
- Professional graphic and web design
- Computer Graphics, large datasets transforms and 3D rendering

CBRAIN and GBRAIN are Pan-Canadian and International platforms for distributed processing, analysis, exchange and visualisation of brain imaging data. The middleware platform, renders the processing environment (hardware, operating systems, storage servers, etc...) transparent to a remote user.
Interaction with a standard web browser allows the users to apply complex algorithms “pipelines” to large datasets residing in remote locations using a combination of network available resources (such as small clusters, neuroimaging tools), databases and Compute-Canada's High Performance Computing Centers (HPCs).

In the context of GBRAIN, the platform has to accommodate for very large datasets of high resolution animal and human brains' scans. These images are transferred through high-bandwidth links from Germany, the U.S., South Korea and Canada and should enable resource-sharing among these international collaborators.

Jobs location: McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada.
