Job Description:
Put computational science in the hands of every life scientist The charge of the Scientific Computing team is to build into the ECL the cutting-edge computational tools and techniques that can significantly augment the research process for any life scientist, but which are in practice technically involved enough that they are only accessible to computational biologists and computational chemists. You will introduce modeling and simulation tools across the comprehensive list of in vitro life sciences experiments offered through the ECL, spanning fields as diverse as computational chemistry, bioinformatics, systems biology, and more. About You: We’re looking for extremely versatile, engineering-driven scientists and mathematicians who are excited to reshape scientific research through software You might be a great fit for Emerald Sci Comp if … -You have over five years experience doing computational research (PhD preferred). -You have deep knowledge of (undergraduate degree or stronger) chemistry, biology, or physics. -You have strong programming skills in a variety of languages. -You have scientific expertise in physical or statistical modeling of large scale systems. -You are an expert in computational chemistry, computational biology, or bioinformatics. -You have extensive experience in either Mathematica, Matlab, R or other high-level data driven languages. You might be a great fit for Emerald's culture if … -You’ve got grit. Setbacks just sweeten the eventual wins. -When a hard problem confronts you, you are too busy conceiving of potential solutions to get immediately hung up on the question of whether it can be solved. -You are impressively empathetic. -You are intellectually fearless. At Emerald, being an "engineering-driven scientist" includes taking things apart to build them right, from the nuts and bolts if necessary. -You are not afraid to diverge from precedent when first-principles thinking illuminates another path.

About Emerald: At Emerald, we are building the software and hardware infrastructure to accelerate the pace of life sciences research, with the intention of laying the foundations for a period of flourishing innovation in biotechnology and medicine in the coming decades. It is our aim to make it as achievable for a small team of scientists to pursue an ambitious therapeutic R&D initiative as it has become for a small team of programmers to develop and deploy a web-based software product. The Emerald Cloud Laboratory (ECL) is a web-based life sciences lab, enabling scientists to move out of the lab, and to instead conduct research remotely from a computer. It empowers scientists to specify experiments with the precision and reproducibility of code, and to abstract away the physical execution of those experiments to Emerald’s robotically-driven facility in South San Francisco. Through the ECL, the resulting experimental data is accessible in perpetuity, detailed metadata is linked and explorable, and investigators are equipped with a suite of computational tools to drive of the algorithmic components of data analysis, freeing them to focus on the insights that are uniquely derived by scientists.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
