Subject: Lab Programmer Position



Description:

Essentially, Dr. Newman's Lab has created a software program that was

designed to run a variety of experimental language studies with infants and

toddlers.  They are making it broadly available to other labs, and as they do

so. There are some bug reports and some requests for enhancements.  The lab

is looking for someone who could learn the existing code (a 3000-line

C++program) and make modifications (as compared to creating something from

scratch).   in particular, they need someone with enough drive to be willing

to jump into the code, seek and read relevant documentation, and understand

the MS Windows software resources in play.



The program is designed to be able to run a wide variety of experimental

designs, using protocol files that provide the details for the specific

experiment.  The program displays AV files and images on multiple monitors,

plays synchronized audio, and controls lighting peripherals. It involves

fairly precise timing aspects, collects keyboard responses from the user, and

then uses that to change its behavior during the course of a study. It runs

on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, and uses threads for real-time I/O.



If this might be a position you would be interested in, please let Dr.

Rochelle Newman know, to set up a time to talk further.
