BACKGROUND

It's 2 am. You type the name of your favorite gene into GenBank and are rewarded with information---sequence, references, related genes. You are intrigued by the countless possibilities for new experiments, but part of you longs for a different career away from the bench and 2 am dates with your computer.

If you see yourself in this scenario, consider experiencing life on the other side of a GenBank query. Computercraft is seeking new additions to its team of creative and dedicated scientists who have supported GenBank since 1991. Molecular biologists just completing a post-doc are especially encouraged to apply.

As a GenBank biologist you would work together with professionals at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD.

RESPONSIBILITIES

REQUIREMENTS

A Ph.D. in molecular biology or a related field
Extensive laboratory experience in molecular biology
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
An aptitude for DNA sequence analysis (experience with DNA sequence analysis software is a plus)
The ability to work as part of a team
A strong desire to support public scientific databases such as GenBank
A detail-oriented outlook coupled with a love for puzzle and problem solving

COMPENSATION

Computercraft offers a competitive salary and an excellent benefits package including health insurance with 100% company paid premiums, 401K program with matching, paid time off and holiday pay, life insurance, flexible spending and disability coverage.
