Java Web Developer
Use your development and design skills to help scientists understand the most complex system in the universe, the human brain!
This is an unprecedented opportunity to use your skills helping advance our understanding of the human brain by building a research data sharing / computational science infrastructure directly supporting neurosciences research. As a Java Web Developer, you will be working with a Java Web stack, Oracle RDBMS, AWS, command line tools, and much more, enabling data from billions of dollars in investment in autism, depression, suicide prevention, PTSD, substance abuse, alcoholism, etc., to be made securely available to scientists from around the world. This is a massive peta-scale data services infrastructure and data archive which houses, harmonizes, and shares human-subjects data aimed to accelerate the progress of research in mental health. You will have significant interfacing with Senior National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) staff as you help drive efforts to build critical components & solutions.
From our initial support of this client in 2008, to our $38 Million firm-fixed-price contract award in 2017, we are poised for another expansion of our support of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the Data Archive (NDA).
