LOOKING FOR COMPUTATIONAL EXPERT

Develop algorithms to reconstruct an organism’s genome from millions or billions of tiny sequence bits. These data are becoming available now as a result of fundamental innovations in sequencing technology.

Biology background not required. We seek candidates having exceptionally deep computational understanding and abilities, who enjoy solving nearly impossible problems.

Position involves mixture of algorithm design and implementation, rapid prototyping on data sets, analysis of data sets, interaction with laboratory personnel, writing for internal use and publication.

Intense, exciting environment. Work as part of a four-person team in cutting-edge organization with over 100 world-class computational scientists, tackling a wide range of critical issues in genomics and biomedicine.

Requirements: advanced degree in math or computer science, or comparable research experience. Experience/expertise in C++. Excellent oral and written communication skills. Capable of self-directed research within broader goals set by group.

Candidates meeting this are strongly encouraged to apply, regardless of experience level or prior exposure to the field. Apply to us, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, position mit-00003916 at:
