The Project:
June 2004: Applications are invited for a two-year position as a software development engineer, on a research project with commercial potential that is funded by the Irish Government. The post is tenable from 1 September 2004.
The project, entitled "Hazard-IQ: Intelligent Quantification of Raman Spectral Data for Hazardous and Illicit Substances", aims to simplify and automate the use of a laser-based chemical analysis technique called Raman spectroscopy, by integrating it with Machine Learning methods for classification and regression. The goal is to produce software for automatic identification and quantification of explosives and hazardous materials, with applications in healthcare and law enforcement. This will be deployed on desktop PCs and portable detecting equipment with PDA-style processors.
The Position:
The principal responsibility of the software engineer will be to develop high quality, intuitive graphical analysis software in Java incorporating sophisticated analysis algorithms. This will include design, analysis, implementation, testing, evaluation and documentation. Work will be performed under the direction of the project leader, Dr Michael Madden, in cooperation with other project team members in IT and Biomedical Science. Other responsibilities will include project management, report preparation, database design, evaluation of competing products and mentoring of students.
Candidates must have at least four years’ relevant experience of developing commercial graphical applications in Java, and a proven ability to deliver complex products on time. Candidates should have a good honours degree in an appropriate discipline, and preferably a relevant postgraduate research qualification. Additionally, knowledge of artificial intelligence, signal processing or statistics would be an advantage.
