Since our original posting in August, we filled one of our advertised positions, but another one became open. So we now have (as of September 18, 2000)... 2 IMMEDIATE OPENINGS (1 Research Programmer, 1 Systems Programmer) Genetic Programming Inc. is a small privately funded corporation using a beowulf cluster computer system consisting of 1,000 Pentium processors to do research in applying genetic programming to produce human-competitive results. Our group publishes and presents numerous research papers each year in various scientific conferences and journals. We are seeking 2 full-time programmers (1 Research Programmer and 1 Systems Programmer) who are proficient in Java or C. The RESEARCH PROGRAMMER position calls for at least a B.S. degree and at least two years experience in Java or C doing academic or corporate research programming. The successful candidate is expected to have expertise in some specific science or engineering domain with the aim of applying genetic programming to that domain. The possibilities are very open-ended and include, but are not limited to, analog circuit design, control, finite element analysis, shape optimization, operations research, mechanical design, signal processing, civil engineering, applied mathematics, chemical engineering, bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, protein structure prediction, econometrics, etc. This position requires the ability to discuss and contribute ideas on how to approach new problems, suggest new problem areas to address, quickly learn about new problem domains, and to then write and run the necessary programs. The SYSTEMS PROGRAMMER position calls for at least a B.S. degree, two years experience as software developer in Java or C, and ability to maintain our software and our 1,000-Pentium system. Familiarity with linux, network programming, shell scripting, perl is a plus. The successful candidate will also be actively involved in our research programming. Experience with, or knowledge of, genetic programming, genetic algorithms, or evolutionary computation, machine learning, neural networks, artificial intelligence, artificial life, DNA computing, etc. is a plus, but not required. Please include all relevant information, date available, and several references. Since we desire to fill these positions immediately, the candidate must currently possess the legal ability to work in the United States. The significant time delays, uncertainty, and paperwork, involved in obtaining new visas for technical work in the US for persons outside the NAFTA area precludes starting that process at this time .
