We are seeking outstanding and enthusiastic students to join our synthetic and systems biology team in the department of bioengineering. The research will involve developing and researching the next generation of interactive software tools in the field of systems and synthetic biology. The work will involve rebooting our simulation and analysis capabilities with particular emphasis on visualization, novel user interfaces, model reproducibility, versioning, tracking and model component repositories. Desktop tools will also be integrated with the web to enable collaborative modeling.
Prior experience of software development with Java, Javascript, OR other programming languages such as C/C++, C#, Matlab, Python and Delphi is a must. Web development experience is a plus. A willingness to adapt and be self-motivated is essential. Familiarity with current standards and modeling efforts in systems and synthetic biology, such as SBML, SBOL and SED-ML is desirable but not essential at this stage.
Research credit is available now, with the possibility of funding in the future.
