Description

**POSITION TITLE:**Research Programmer III (Software Engineer) **POSITION SUMMARY:** The Kennedy laboratory is involved in numerous projects to track, quantify, and forecast individual and group behavior and relate it to recorded neural activity. We develop new computational methods to understand how agents (animals, humans, virtual) gather information about their sensory environment, integrate this with internal motivational needs, and execute goal\-directed actions in complex, naturalistic environments. We also develop machine learning and computer vision platforms for high\-throughput animal phenotyping, with the goal of accelerating drug screening and repurposing efforts at Scripps. We seek motivated individuals interested in gaining hands\-on experience in scientific research projects, with a goal of contributing to scientific papers and participating in an active lab environment. You will also have the opportunity to lead independent research projects on existing datasets from our collaborators (U Penn, UCLA, Harvard, U Utah, Northwestern, and others). This is an ideal position for applicants interested in building their scientific CV ahead of applying to graduate programs in...
