Kharchenko lab at Altos is looking to hire a Scientific Programmer (a.k.a. Bioinformatics Engineer) to build the next generation of open tools for multi-omics and spatially-resolved omics! If you enjoy crafting and optimizing software for scientific calculations and visualizations (including interactive ones), please consider! We hope to contribute to Bioconductor and other open efforts. It's also an opportunity to learn more about biology by working with excellent scientists both within Altos and beyond!

If interested, please apply here.

Background info: Kharchenko lab at Altos Labs San Diego Institute is studying how cells coordinate their activity within complex biological tissues, how these mechanisms break down in disease and injury, and the potential interventions that may improve tissue function. Much of the effort is focused on development and application of novel statistical methods and computational tools for understanding tissue function, including analysis of multi-omics and spatial assays. See http://pklab.org for our earlier work. Altos Labs aims to foster scientific creativity, providing research labs with both resources and freedom needed to pursue fundamental scientific challenges, including the ability of individual labs to publish and present their work for wider scientific community.
