Granda
era7 bioinformatics is seeking a 3 year postgraduate R&D position for a full-time position located in Granada, Spain.
Description:
You'll be programming in Scala, using AWS for everything, applying weighted transducers and category theoretic stuff to build systems for indexing, querying and processing massive Next Generation Sequencing data, and working on the integration of pathways and transcriptional network data into bio4j.
Requirements:
We're looking for a CS/Math/IT graduate, for an EU project funded 3-year postion, with the posibility of doing a PhD. You should have less than 4 years (full-time equivalent) of research experience, not have lived in Spain for more than 12 months within the last 3 years, and you should not have a PhD; those are essential requirements.
It will really help if you have experience with:
•functional programming (preferably Scala, but Haskell and/or ML will also be OK)
•AWS, particularly EC2, S3 and DynamoDB.
•concurrency in Scala: akka, fundamentally futures and dataflow concurrency.
•AWS, particularly EC2, S3 and DynamoDB.
•concurrency in Scala: akka, fundamentally futures and dataflow concurrency.
Knowledge and/or interests:
•category theory. The more you know, the better! in particular,
•monoidal categories (traced monoidal, with feedback, compact-closed) and its relationship with notions of computation (geometry of interaction, semantics of processes, etc). Even more in particular, the work of RFC Walters et al on concurrency and distributed systems.
•enriched category theory, of the flavour often used in functional programming (cartesian base category). This means strong monads and comonads, applicative functors, etc.
•string matching/indexing, weighted finite-state transducers and related matters such as compact directed acyclic word graphs.
•bioinformatics, more specifically NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) data management and analysis.
Work practices:
we expect you to have a deep unrepentant love for abstraction, together with the burning desire to build stuff that works. You should be comfortable with:
•a (git + github)-based work environment,
•releasing all code produced under AGPLv3
•releasing all data produced under an open data conformant license
•publishing everything stemming from your work in open-access journals
•releasing all code produced under AGPLv3
•releasing all data produced under an open data conformant license
•publishing everything stemming from your work in open-access journals
Work environment:
era7 bioinformatics is a small interdisciplinary bioinformatics company, focused on bacterial genomics; for most of the 3 year period (first 30 months), you'll be based in Granada, Spain, in the same office of all the people doing R&D at era7 bioinformatics: a healthy mix of bioinformaticians, CS/IT people and mathematicians; all of them really nice people!
You'll be located at LMU Munich the remaining 6 months.
Feel free to contact any of rtobes@era7.com, eparejatobes@ohnosequences.com, epareja@era7.com for more info.
Deadlines:
You should apply before July 5; you'll be expected to start by the end of September.
