Research Software Developer (2 posts)

School of Computer Science

Closing date: 29/07/2009
Reference: EPS/90772

An opportunity has arisen to join a successful academic and industrial partnership at the forefront of semantic technologies and health informatics. The University of Manchester and Siemens Medical Solutions USA have entered into a collaboration to develop next generation clinical systems and knowledge management environments using semantic technology. The development will build on the highly successful CO-ODE project, which is producing the Protégé-OWL cooperative ontology development environment and related tools in collaboration with Stanford University.

You will have experience of the full software design cycle, experience of logic based systems, OWL, description logics or related Semantic Web technologies, and solid and provable grasp of the Java programming language. Prior experience in the healthcare area would be an advantage but is not required. Experience in developing user interfaces is highly desirable. There will be a strong interaction with the industrial partners, and therefore you should be able to communicate technical details effectively in a professional manner. You will design, develop and test prototype and production software to set time scales and to respond flexibly to changing specifications with a high degree of competency and accuracy.
