Our team in Granada and Madrid is part of a global R&D Informatics organization with sites at Europe, China and US. Such a broad organization let us team up with people from a diverse number of cultures and backgrounds which makes our daily work even more appealing and inspiring.
PerkinElmer Informatics R&D mission is to deliver best of the breed software products to help scientists, biologists, clinicians and biopharmaceutical organizations to address the most challenging problems. Our recipe to make it possible is the right balance between science, engineering and innovation in every new project and product.
We team up with the product managers and customers to discuss, design and implement the products. We prefer action over bureaucracy and heavy processes. We use agile and iterative processes, enabling everyone in the team to contribute to every phase of the development. We endeavor to deliver production code since the very early stages.

When it comes to technologies we use quite a diverse number of programming languages, frameworks and architectures. Object oriented programming languages like c#, java, c++ are extensively used. Interpreted languages like python, javascript or domain specific ones like R are very important too. Business intelligence platforms like TIBCO Spotfire®, cloud, data analysis and data mining technologies, databases and web frameworks are corner stones of our product architectures.

We are looking for skillful people and motivated about understanding the problems and challenges with the ambition to be part of the future of drug discovery, healthcare and life sciences research. We are interested in people passionate about implementing and crafting high quality software products.

If you have already contributed to any bioinformatics or scientific software projects or you are willing to do so. If you are capable of using statistics, machine learning, visualizations techniques to solve data analysis problems. If you have a solid foundation on object oriented programming languages and software engineering. If you are passionate about software development. If you are an action driven person and believe in teamwork then we are definitely interested in meeting you. We will be pleased to meet you at our offices in Granada. We want to tell you more about us and our group and of course hearing more about your skills, experience, projects and motivations.

This  position is to  participate in  a 6-month research project at  the  Department  of  Information & Communication Technologies (DTIC) of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona,(http://www.upf.edu/dtic/).

UPF is  ranked  as  the  most  productive  university  in  Spain  in  terms  of  research outcome  and  attraction  of  funding (142 European FP7 projects, 19 ERC Grants – being over 50% of the conducted at DTIC-UPF).

Part of the work will be done in the AntennaLab research group labs in Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona.

The project will be conducted in the PhySense research  group (http://physense.upf.edu), supervised by Dr. Marta Guardiola. PhySense focuses on integrating engineering/physics knowledge with physiology in order to provide an interdisciplinary research  environment,  working closely together with  internationally  known  academic and clinical centres. This is approached by integrating and improving information acquisition, handling and processing techniques, combined with basic knowledge on pathophysiology, in order to advance clinical sciences.

Requirements
The candidates should have a BEng or preferentially MSc, mainly in engineering, physics or computer science, strong background on antenna design and measurement, good computer programming skills (Matlab), and preferentially experience in microwave imaging. Fluency in English is highly recommended.

2 Open positions in Microwave Medical Imaging Llavor project: MicroWave imaging device for ENDOscopic explorations and interventions (MiWEndo)

Llavor is 6-month program financed by Secretaria d’Universitats i Recerca, Departament d’Economia i Coneixement from the Generalitat de Catalunya and co-financed by FEDER. It is aimed to finance innovative projects that are in the initial stages in the level of technological maturity for the enhancement of knowledge with potential to join the productive sector.

MiWEndo is aimed to valorize and translate research on microwave imaging to the clinic and the industry. Microwave imaging is one of the most promising emerging imaging methods because is low-cost, portable and safe. One of the most attractive features of microwave technology for clinical applications is its relatively low entrance barriers with comparison to other medical imaging modalities.

The proposed project involves different stages of the technology pipeline, including knowledge/technology protection, pre-prototype design, initial manufacturing and pre-clinical testing. The proposed device will be a small endoscope head composed by several radio frequency (RF) sensors that will allow to form cross-sectional both anatomical and functional images of the interior of the gastro-intestinal tract as the endoscope travels along it. This work will be part of a long-standing close collaboration with the Hospital Clínic i Provincial de Barcelona (HCPB) to assure clinically relevant research. Furthermore, this work will be in connection with other scientific and clinical partners with strong expertise on antennas and propagation such as AntennaLab (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya).

En pleno despertar primaveral cuesta ponerse en situación, así que toca tirar de memoria y evocar esas tormentas glaciales que azotan violentamente el norte de EEUU cada año. Ahora es más sencillo imaginarse la desazón que embargaba a Paul Wallich cada mañana cuando se veía obligado a enfrentarse de forma prematura al frío de Vermont para acompañar a su hijo hasta la parada de autobús.
