Research Platforms Unit – Aging and Dementia Imaging Research (ADIR) Lab – The Aging and Dementia Imaging Research (ADIR) Lab is an internationally recognized leader in imaging research focused on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The Research Platforms Unit provides the software engineering, data management, and computational infrastructure that enables these research efforts. We are seeking a Limited Tenure (LT) Software Engineer to develop, maintain, and support software systems that facilitate large-scale imaging research and data management.

The successful candidate will work in a collaborative Linux-based development environment alongside physicians, PhD scientists, biostatisticians, medical physicists, imaging scientists, and software engineers. This position offers the opportunity to design and implement software solutions that support imaging research involving large, multi-institutional datasets while contributing to the development of robust, scalable, and maintainable research infrastructure.

Unlike many software engineering positions, this role provides significant ownership of projects throughout the software development lifecycle. The successful candidate will work directly with research staff to understand requirements, design technical solutions, implement and validate software, deploy production applications, and provide long-term support and enhancements. Engineers are encouraged to identify opportunities for innovation and process improvement while helping shape the future direction of the laboratory's research software ecosystem.
