Job Description:

We are looking for awesome people (very broadly defined) who love doing science in a creative, collaborative, and dynamic environment.Keywords: crowdsourcing, integrative biology, pathways, N-of-1 genomics, proteomics, microbiome, software development, semantic web, text mining, pathway analysis, serious gaming --------------------------------------- The Su Lab (http://sulab.org) is a bioinformatics research group that is equally interested in building computational infrastructure and in pursuing biomedical discoveries. We operate at the interface between biology, computer science, statistics, and software engineering. Our projects span a wide spectrum of disease areas (including osteoarthritis, cancer, cystic fibrosis), organisms (human, mouse, microbiomes) and technology platforms (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics). We have a particular focus on building tools that leverage crowdsourcing, several of which are widely used by other bioinformaticians, biomedical scientists, and the general public. We are continually interested in hiring postdoctoral research associates. People who are exceptionally good fits may be hired into permanent staff scientist/developer roles.
The primary (only) criterion for a position in my lab is "awesomeness". I have a pretty broad definition of awesome, from great publications, to highly-used software packages, to implementation of innovative ideas. I don't particularly care exactly what your background is -- as long as your interested in bioinformatics and have accomplished great things in the past, let's talk...Since we are a computational lab, our current technology stack includes: jQuery, Bootstrap, Python/Django, Java/Tomcat, R/Bioconductor, Weka, Tornado, Postgres, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, uWSGI, Nginx, AWS EC2, AWS AMT, Mercurial. Feel free to mention which of the above technologies you've used, or convince us why we should be using other technologies instead. If you're interested, please send your CV and a cover letter. Your cover letter should specifically address why you are interested in our lab. (Form letter applications typically get form letter responses...) Applications with links to public code repositories always get a second look. We have an outstanding team right now, and we are committed to maintaining this standard of awesomeness. We strongly believe in diversity, and women and minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.
