Contributing to Neuroinformatics Unit projects#
We always welcome contributions to all of our software, whether from experienced developers, or researchers looking to make their first open-source contribution.
Many of our projects are quite large and the software is used by researchers around the world. For this reason, all contributions go through a review process to make sure that they are necessary, useful, correct and complete. This “code review” process can often be daunting to first time contributors. It is often not difficult to meet these criteria, but it can be complicated.
For this reason we have written some documents to outline the processes we use, so hopefully they aren’t so opaque. We are also happy to guide new contributors through the process. For more details please see our documentation about mentored open source contributions.
Internships#
We offer a number of paid internships each year, through established programs such as Google Summer of Code and In2research. Unfortunately we do not offer any other formal internship opportunities.
Research software engineer and scientist positions#
We usually do not have any full time positions available. As and when these are available, they will be advertised here and via social media and Zulip.
If you would like to discuss applying for funding to work with us (e.g. a personal fellowship), please email Adam Tyson.
