Job Opening: Bioinformatics Consultant or Senior Bioinformatics Consultant
We’re looking for experienced computational biologists, whether formally trained in a MS or PhD Bioinformatics program or informally trained by extensive experience doing computational science and engineering. We offer a flexible work schedule, exciting scientific and engineering projects, and a work environment of respect and mutual support.
We’re open to remote work: You’ll be expected to participate in teleconferences and attend virtual meetings on a schedule compatible with the Eastern US time zone.
We are also hiring at multiple levels. Please see the two lists of requirements below to get a feel for what we’re looking for. We would love to speak to anyone who falls between these two sets of requirements as well. Pay is commensurate with experience.
