[BioRuby] [Job] Systems Administrator / Hacker / Bioinformatician - 2 years, London

[Yannick Wurm]

Dear colleague,

I hope you are well. Just a quick message to say that we're hiring a creative, computationally savvy person to manage our computing efforts (see below). 


-----
You'll be interacting with hardcore bioinformaticians, with genomics, chemoinformatics, proteomics, ecology, evolution & psychology researchers, and with our central research computing service. Initially, the aim will be to help us strike the right balance of using central computing, local fat and small servers, cloud & single board computing, to make sure required solutions are properly implemented & running smoothly. In this manner you'll form the seed of a new core facility. Subsequently, depending on your interests, you can become more involved either in participating in the research projects through coding or data analysis (opportunities for co-authorship & learning new skills) or in further developing our resources. Or both. 

Please forward this to anyone you know who might be interested & relevant for this interdisciplinary role. 

More details are in the ad:

We're located in the Fogg Building, Queen Mary University in London, UK (minutes from London's Shoreditch technology hub & generally in a hip & fun part of zone 2 East/Central London). We like big ass servers & getting things done. 

The initial contract is for two years. Pay is in the range of 42,601 to 47,559 GBP per year depending on experience. Closing date for applications is November 21st 2013.

I'm happy to answer any informal questions about the job or context. Formal applications will have to go through the HR website. 

Kind regards,

Yannick
