Mint Labs is looking to fill a R&D position on data science. Mint Labs is a multi-disciplinary science and engineering start-up. The company's mission is to develop technologies to better understand the human brain and the diseases that affect it. Our primary focus is on neuroimaging methods, including MRI, that yield insights into the living brain.


Context

You thrive on the idea of using tools that aid  the communication of results such as Ipython notebooks? You are not satisfied with how computational science is currently being done and have ideas on how to make it more effective at curing diseases? You enjoy interacting with new groups of people and are comfortable communicating with dozens to hundreds of scientists?

The challenge is to develop analysis systems for multidimensional medical datasets that include imaging. Mint Labs is a SaaS platform that focus on integrating diverse clinical, imaging, genomic, and other data to better evaluate disease progression and response to interventions.


Objectives of the position

• Support the interaction with several external research partners and clients to develop both bioinformatics analysis and visualizations on data in collaboration with neurologists, statisticians and other bioinformaticians.
• Work with the newest technologies in data analysis and -omics data.
• Create web-accessible records that are reproducible and re-usable of all your analysis.
• Work with our software team that develops the web platform to communicate requirements and features for product development.
• Automate the execution of new analysis methods using scripting and statistical programming.
• Assist in the evaluation and implementation of data and imaging curation tools.
• Develop practical methods for non-programmers to communicate reproducible results by integrating new and existing tools into our platform
• Detect, model and normalize batch and experimental artifacts in experimental data.

Desired profile, Skills

• You have experience working within a team of scientists, statisticians and software engineers to compile and format large, high-dimensional data sets for downstream analysis.
• You have software development experience, including strong programming skills in a high-level language especially Python, R and/or matlab. Experience with Linux shell scripting recommended.
• Ideally, you would be experienced with developing advanced ipython notebooks or other interactive frameworks.
• Ideally, you are familiar with neuroimaging data types such as anatomical data, diffusion or functional imaging.
• You have a graduate degree in a quantitative field such as engineering, applied math, computer science, bioinformatics etc or are an exceptional undergraduate with bioinformatics experience.

A great R&D environment

We're a growing, product-centric team located in Barcelona Spain.

We strive on solving hard problems with creative solutions, and have fun during the process - after all we are in Barcelona. As an engineer on our team, you'll tackle the challenges that arise as we build a large-scale system for data processing and distribution. The scale at which our systems must operate requires highly-performing algorithms and data structures. Solving complex distributed systems and ensuring data security are essential.


We're looking for independent thinkers with a deep understanding of the problems we are solving who are not afraid to significantly influence how this system is improved. We hire for people, not roles -- if you don't see an interesting job description but believe that you can add value to Mint Labs, we would love to hear from you.


In addition, the researcher/engineer will interact closely with top researchers worldwide, using our platform.
