Job Description:
Stanford University's Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases is seeking a Software Developer to execute a range of programming tasks for the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database (HIVDB), including programming, analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, modifying, and maintaining computer programs. This is a key position in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Shafer to expand a widely used international resource. In this position, you will be one of three software developers working with a small group of clinical investigators and laboratory scientists. You will also be interacting with an international group of HIVDB users. HIV drug resistance testing is increasingly used in clinical, research, and public health laboratories worldwide to assist in the management of the 20 million individuals receiving HIV therapy. HIVDB has had an outsized effect on HIV drug resistance research because it combines the expertise of a few individuals with software technologies that scale to handle large numbers of user-defined queries or sequences submitted for interpretation. Creating a sustainable model that will scale with the expanding number of HIV drug therapy and drug resistance publications, will require novel approaches including text-mining, artificial intelligence, and crowd-sourcing. Your work will be instrumental in helping to transition HIVDB to a self-sustaining open resource for the community of clinicians, researchers, and public health laboratories that rely on the most up-to-date drug resistance data and knowledge. Example responsibilities:
