Scientific Software Development in Computational Biochemistry

Extraordinarily gifted scientific research programmers and computational scientists are sought to join a New York-based interdisciplinary research group pursuing an ambitious, long-term project aimed at achieving major scientific advances in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology.

Among the group's current research activities is the development of new algorithms and software for large-scale data analysis and simulation both on commodity clusters and on a massively parallel special-purpose supercomputer being built by the group. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work closely with a number of the world's leading computational chemists and biologists, and to make fundamental contributions within the fields of biology, chemistry, and medicine.

Serious candidates will have an exceptionally distinguished history of academic and/or industrial accomplishment. Particularly relevant areas of expertise might include parallel computation, scientific computing, molecular dynamics, and large-scale data management and analysis, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of achievement. We are prepared to reward exceptionally well-qualified individuals with above-market compensation.
