----- Forwarded message from Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Perl/DBI Bioinformatics programmer position expected to be opening up soon at Boston University, in the BioMolecular Engineering Research Center (http://bmerc-www.bu.edu/), at 32 Cummington St, just off Comm Ave near Kenmore Sq.
This is the same position I listed about a year ago. Starting salary is around 40k, +/- a small amount depending on experience. It's in an academic/research setting with excellent benefits and flexible hours. Candidates should have solid Perl programming skills, but must be capable of self guiding both their own projects and the expansion of their skills. Good people skills and an ability to maintain focus on priority projects in an environment where many people will throw interesting distractions at you nearly daily also very important! A solid understanding of _basic_ biology and genetics is a must. The position can be viewed as an entry level bioinformatics position; it is expected that a portion of your time will be spent learning more advanced concepts in biology and developing bioinformatics skills. A commitment of at least three years is expected. Skills in other programming languages (particularly C or Lisp) a plus, but the primary duties of this position will require daily use of your Perl skills not only for developing new, and expanding existing, bioinformatics programs and research, but also for interacting with MySQL databases and maintaining the centers website (particularly web interfaces to our databases and tools). I'll be posting an official job description as soon as I get an availability date and approval. I just wanted to give our local mongers an advance heads up. I should be at the next tech meeting if anyone wants some more information. Thanks, Sean ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
