Research Software Developer (2 posts)
School of Computer Science
Closing date: 29/07/2009

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.
