Janelia Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Virginia, where scientists pursue fundamental questions in neuroscience and imaging. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) launched Janelia in 2006, establishing an intellectually distinctive environment for scientists to do creative, collaborative, hands-on work. Our integrated teams of biologists, computational scientists, and tool-builders pursue a small number of scientific questions with potential for transformative impact. We share our methods, results, and tools with the scientific community. It is a uniquely innovative and collaborative atmosphere that reflects HHMI's reputation for excellence. Summary: Advanced imaging techniques at HHMI Janelia Research Campus produce large amounts of image data that require careful voxel-level annotation to extract useful information about the imaged biological structures. Data annotation is an essential component in training automated image processing techniques, such as deep learning, and requires meticulous attention to detail. We seek individuals with outstanding interest in science and attention to detail to become full- or part-time (minimum 20 hours per week) annotators in a shared resource team called Annotation & Analytics (A&A). As an annotator you will assist with the annotation of data (images and videos) in order to establish automated data processing pipelines. You will be trained on required technologies upon starting the work. Once trained you will work under limited supervision, collaborating closely with scientists and other support groups. Annotators will continue cross trainingacross different methods and technologies as they are developed. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic team within Scientific Operations in a highly collaborative and supportive research environment. Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
