Our auditory research lab seeks a programmer with experience in C++ and Qt. This position will entail the development of user-friendly software to control custom hardware that drives experimental imaging setups. This project will involve the development of a graphical user interface that can accept user input, call the appropriate hardware drivers, receive the data that is returned, and plot images and data in easy-to-understand 2D and 3D formats. Graphics, game design, virtual reality, and/or signal processing expertise will be considered highly valuable.
This position is available within the lab of John Oghalai, part of a strong auditory research group within the USC Caruso Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. The lab is located on the Keck Medical Campus of USC. Depending upon how this project proceeds, this may lead to a part-time position within an existing startup company designed to commercialize this technology.
Knowledge of C++ and Qt is required. Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate experience in coding. The ability to work in teams collaboratively with other lab personnel is critical. The ideal candidate will have a degree in computer science, engineering, math, or physics. Full-time work hours are preferable, but we will consider candidates who desire a part-time position. Work must be done at the worksite.
The annual base salary range for this position is $109,605.12 - $134,056.20. When extending an offer of employment, the University of Southern California considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, federal, state, and local laws, contractual stipulations, grant funding, as well as external market and organizational considerations.
