Position Responsibilities	Have stellar computational skills, PhD or equivalent experience? Enjoy solving nearly impossible problems? We’ll retrain you to work with cutting-edge DNA technology! We find biomedical applications for new DNA sequencing instruments yielding billions of short DNA sequences like AATGTAATTTCAAATGTTAGCTCATTTTTGTTAATG. We need you on our team to solve the hard mathematical and computational challenges using terabytes of these data. We invent algorithms, delve deeply in the data, code like crazy, help design laboratory experiments: we do whatever is needed to make the new technologies fulfill their promise to unlock the mysteries of genomics and biomedical research in critical areas like cancer, human genetics, infectious disease, antibiotic discovery, genome evolution, man’s inhumanity to man, and the number 42.
