Responsibilities
- Lead the development and maintenance of a high-performance image i/o library used for managing and processing petabytes of datasets
- Use and adapt a high-performance image processing framework for one high-throughput imaging screen at a time, e.g., mapping changes in organelles during differentiation of stem cells and dynamics of infection in zebrafish. This project will require working on microscopes in a BSL-2 imaging laboratory after appropriate safety training.
- Organize and curate datasets contributed by multiple collaborators for training image-based phenotyping models
- Package the above pipelines via docker/singularity containers that can be used across platforms, including the HPC cluster
