The posting

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.

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
