Position Available in the Boston Area
hello everyone,

we have, for a limited time, a position available at my company (in the boston area). the requirements are listed below; please respond only if you meet these requirements and then do so quickly.

send info to:

jrg[at]world.std.com

_big_ plusses are given to those candidates who:

have a wide molecular/cellular biology knowledge-base (including the ability to interpret molecular/cellular biology experiment results)

have demonstrable creativity

algorithm development (ie. the ability to create new analysis tools/methods where existing ones fail to suffice)

can be "up and running" immediately in a bioinformatics analysis environment. for example, if someone gave you a dna/protein sequence (perhaps incomplete) and asked you to postulate a function for the gene it encodes (or if it does), you should be able to know exactly what tools you'd need to use, what databases to query, what questions to ask that would give an advantage to a bench-level scientist. the ability to communicate your results to the bench-level scientist is also required.

and yeah, those might be big shoes to fill, but it describes me and you'll be working with me, so i don't feel bad asking for it. ;)

here are the formal requirements:
