[PLUG] scientific programming job possibility

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

Some collaborators of mine are looking to hire a programmer to extend
some code I wrote last Spring and Summer. It's a full-time position,
location is Penn's Campus (Wistar). It's probably contract, it might
go as long as a year. You'd work with me, my advisor, and a bunch of
biologists at Wistar. The pay would work out to $50K/year or so if it
works out for the whole year.

The key technical qualifications are C++ and perl and a very good
knowledge of mathematics. It's all on linux, but there's very little
system programming involved. You should be comfortable working with
high dimensional spaces. (The code finds clusters in 7000 or so
dimensional spaces.) You'll get to learn some neat math.

Knowledge of parallel or cluster programming would be a nice plus.

Here's the ad they are planning to run:

  The Wistar Institute and Drexel University department of Computer
  Science are looking for one or more programmers to implement a
  web-based algorithm for supervised classification of microarray
  data. Experience in C++ programming, Numerical methods, familiarity
  with Apache and SQL programming is required. Experience with Beowulf
  clusters, SMP architectures, and multi-tasking, security and
  directory servers like LDAP, and manipulation of large datasets is a
  plus.

Send questions (or resumes) to me.
