RESPONSIBILITIES

The Division of Quantitative Sciences at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is seeking highly motivated professionals with expertise in software development for support of bioinformatics and computational biology. The successful candidate will join a strong and growing team of developers who work closely with faculty on a variety of important projects in cancer research. MD Anderson is ranked the No. 1 Cancer Center in the country, and its leadership recognizes that bioinformatics is key to the goal of using biomarkers and biosignatures to �personalize� cancer therapy. There are major opportunities here for the talented individual to play a well-supported, creative role in the battle against cancer.

The Software Engineering Team develops software solutions for scientific computation, including web-based applications and tools for data management, mining, and interpretation in the cutting-edge field of cancer molecular profiling. Efforts involve important programming for next-generation sequencing technologies that generate massive data sets and provide challenging problems and opportunities at all levels of computer science. Research interests also include advance architectures (high-performance computing, semantic web, the cloud).

REQUIREMENTS

B.S. in Computer Science or related major with CS core
Nine years experience in systems analysis and programming, including software and systems design, project management, and documentation

PREFERENCES

M.S. degree
Bioinformatics experience
Expert programming in multiple languages including Java, C++, C and R
