About this position
This post-doctoral fellowship at Worcester Polytechnic Institute supports development of a clinical decision-making support application within a multidisciplinary research team of neuroscientists, clinicians, and data scientists.
The project focuses on building production-quality software that combines modern full-stack development with AI-enabled functionality, automation, and cloud-based systems. The successful candidate will work across the software stack, contributing to Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, database, data pipeline, API, and deployment work, while helping transform clinical requirements into reliable technical solutions.
The role emphasizes practical engineering in a research environment: designing and maintaining applications, integrating third-party services, building automated workflows, improving operational efficiency, and evaluating emerging AI tools for use in existing products and workflows. It is aimed at someone comfortable prototyping quickly and then turning prototypes into maintainable software systems.
The position is based at WPI in Worcester and is connected to the Biology & Biotechnology division. Questions about the role are directed to Dr. Ben Nephew.
