Job Description:
A vacancy has arisen for a Research Assistant / Research Associate (Software Engineer) to join SynbiCITE, under the supervision of Professor Richard Kitney and Dr David McClymont. The postholder will join the ‘London DNA Foundry’ to develop synthetic biology workflow software and database systems to enable the continued development of state-of-the-art high throughput robotic automation platforms. The postholder will be involved in developing tools to enable automation to accelerate the commercialisation of science. The person will continue developing and maintaining the AMOS software platform (Python, Flask, PostgreSQL) that has been developed to build genetic constructs that are used in synthetic biology. The AMOS platform is developed using Github, PyCharm, Python, Flask, and PostgreSQL, Jinja2, HTML and JavaScript technologies so experience in one or more of these is essential. The post also involves the continued development of the SAS database infrastructure where training will be given as appropriate. For a Research Assistant level post you will have good first degree or Masters (or equivalent experience and/or qualifications) in a relevant discipline such as bioinformatics, computer science, and mathematics, biology or synthetic biology. For a Research Associate level post you will have a PhD (or equivalent experience and/or qualifications) in computer science, software engineering, or bioinformatics or significant software development experience in developing tools that will enable automation to accelerate the commercialisation of science
