A software developer is needed to contribute to an existing simulation model of wildlife population dynamics. Work is being done in C++ and C#, using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2.0. The model is under active development, but has been in existence for many years and is already quite sophisticated. A team of two developers are presently working full time on this project.
The new developer will work as an employee of the University of Washington, but will be located in Corvallis, Oregon. The project duration is from August 2007 through the end of 2009. This is a full- time, full-year position with the rate of pay depending on experience. The maximum possible rate is $6250, $6500, and $6760 per month for years 1 through 3, respectively. The position includes University of Washington benefits. This is a federally funded effort that is non-commercial and has a wildlife conservation focus. Our principal concern is that the developer have current experience with C++ and C# within the Microsoft programming environment. We need someone who can work both independently and as part of a small team. Our team is comprised of two other developers, two research leads (one Corvallis, one in Seattle), a post-doc and a Ph.D. student. We are a fun group to work with, and we are looking for somebody who will enjoy contributing to the overall effort. Required Skills: - Experience in using the C++ standard library and its container classes. - Experience with object-oriented design practices. - Experience in GUI development using NET 2.0 Windows Forms. Preferred Skills: - Competence with managed and unmanaged C++ in Visual Studio 2005. - Experience in the analysis and implementation of scientific algorithms. - Familiarity with XML functionality of NET 2.0 and for unmanged C++ (Xerces). - Familiarity with the application of design patterns. - Familiarity with development practices for maximizing maintainability. - Documentation skills. To apply, please send a resume, informal cover letter, and your contact information to Nathan Schumaker at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
