Immersive Environment Platform Manager - Data/Software Engineer

In the context of The Sense Innovation and Research Center (The SENSE), a joint initiative of the Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne (CHUV-UNIL) and HES-SO Valais, The Radiology Department of the CHUV is looking for a Immersive Environment Platform Manager – Data/Software Engineer (80-100%).

Contexte

The Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is one of five Swiss university hospitals. Through its collaboration with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and the EPFL, CHUV plays a leading role in the areas of medical care, medical research and training.

Mission

Your mission, under the supervision of Professor Micah Murray, the Scientific and Academic Director of The Sense, is to put into place and maintain the immersive “cave” environment in the context of an international consortium.

Specific tasks :

Implement and maintain the software and hardware solutions needed for the MELD (Multisensory Environments for Longitudinal Development) consortium at the CHUV-UNIL site.

Coordinate with counterparts at other consortium sites regarding these solutions and in particular the installation of an immersive “cave” environment.

Support the ongoing collection and analysis of data acquired in the context of this consortium and in particular within the immersive “cave” environment.

Ensure experimental control of the data acquisition tools, including but not limited to: immersive environments, eye-trackers, motion-trackers, 3D stereoscopic displays, EEG, and EMG

The primary duties involve developing the software and hardware tools needed to control and analyze multisensory integration tasks and supporting the ongoing collection and analysis of these tasks. This includes consulting with users to determine hardware, software, and system specifications; designing, developing, testing, and documenting tools that meet these specifications; training users of these tools; and providing any ongoing support needed. Experimental control requires coordinating and consolidating data (e.g. psychophysics, eye- and motion-trackers, EEG systems, and time synchronization devices). Experiments may be developed for display on standard consumer-grade computers, stereoscopic goggles, and projection screens. The successful candidate will develop these tasks, verify their timing fidelity, manage the storage of data on local servers, and control the transfer of local data to the centralized consortium servers, following data management and security protocols.
