MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation, and the world through outstanding programs that integrate patient care, research and prevention, and through education for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees and the public.
SUMMARY
The primary role of the Senior Research Programmer is to design, develop, execute, and document new complex computer software and information management systems specifically focused on advanced analysis of biomedical imaging studies in the Department of Cancer Systems Imaging. This role also includes analyzing, testing and recommending existing software products for biomedical image analysis, and the development and integration of digital information management systems for biomedical imaging studies. The Senior Research Programmer will work closely with institutional information systems personnel to ensure operating system software, configuration and system integration is maintained.
JOB SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES
Image Analysis Research Utilize advanced computational methods that analyze imaging results for biomedical applications that assess chemical and biochemical samples; small animal models of cancer and tissue samples. Organize and standardize the data transfer and archival processes and adjust and streamline the processes as needed. Design the analyses methods, test the analyses methods and validate the outcome of the analysis methods. Optimize the processing of high volumes of imaging data.
Image Analysis Applications Collaborate in cancer imaging research studies, including image acquisitions of chemical and biochemical samples; small animal models of cancer; patients who have cancer and particulate in esearch studies; and other models of cancer and tissue samples. Designs, executes and documents complex computer software. Participate in optimizing the image acquisition methods especially to coordinate and synergize the image acquisitions and analyses. Assist the PI and other investigators as well as other research team members to interpret the results of the image analyses.
