HT has the mission of conducting cutting-edge research and to translate innovation into methods and tools available to the entire National scientific community.
To this end, HT is opening National Facilities that will provide world-class research infrastructure for Structural Biology, Light Imaging Microscopy, Genomics, Genome Engineering, and Data Handling and Analysis.
The National Facility for Data Handling and Analysis (NF-DaHa) will perform in-depth analysis of biological data using state-of-the-art computational methods for bioinformatics and image processing.
NFDHA comprises three Infrastructural Units (IU): IU1 Bioimage Analysis IU2 Omics Analysis IU3 Technology Development – DevOps and Web Development IU3 (Technology Development – DevOps and Web Development) is responsible for scientific software development, with a focus on reproducibility, web application development, and DevOps activities.
IU3 will ensure that the tools and pipelines developed within NF-DaHa are widely applicable, reproducible, and openly available to the scientific community.
This team of software developers, web developers, and DevOps engineers will also develop web portals for data access and navigation, to maximize public use of data resources as they are established at HT.
We are now looking for a motivated data visualization developer to join our team.
The ideal candidate is primarily a front-end developer, with experience in developing web applications and websites with technologies such as SPAs, SSR and SSG frameworks.
In addition, a good knowledge of styling and UX/UI is required, to be able to design intuitive and easy-to-use interfaces for web applications.
This implies a solid knowledge of frontend architectures, CSS, responsive design, fonts and color management, and styling best-practices.
The successful candidate will have the chance to lead the maintenance and further development of an internal custom design system to be used as the stylistic foundation for all developed web applications within the unit, as well as an internal library of Vue. js components, with focus on web accessibility and performance.
Besides standard front-end skills, the ideal candidate is proficient in the field of data visualization.
The applicant must understand how to manage data visualization channels to convey results in graphical formats, from designing interactive charts and dashboards in web applications, to creating static charts with Python, R, or other languages, and using standalone data visualization tools.
He/she will have the opportunity to master software such as Tableau, Graphpad Prism, Biorender, Adobe Illustrator, and will oversee the development of graphical assets and the design of scientific reports to convey results to the research community.
Due to the heterogeneous role of this professional figure, we are not expecting all the requirements to be initially fulfilled.
Main evaluation points will focus on front-end development and general principles of data visualization, with the possibility to gain expertise in software and required computer languages on site.
We therefore encourage all people interested in graphics, web development and life sciences to apply.
The successful candidate will contribute to establishing NF-DaHa as a reliable and professional partner for helping Italian scientists share and communicate their research outcomes across the globe.
