Extraordinarily gifted software developers are sought to join a New York–based interdisciplinary research group pursuing an ambitious, long-term project aimed in part at fundamentally transforming the process of drug discovery. Among the group’s current research activities is the development of new algorithms and software for large-scale data analysis and simulation both on commodity clusters and on massively parallel special-purpose supercomputers of our group’s design.

Particularly relevant areas of expertise might include computational biology, Python and C/C++ programming, molecular dynamics, scientific visualization, computer graphics, full-stack web development, scientific workflow management, high performance data-parallel computing on multicore and GPU architectures, and the development of large-scale data management, cheminformatics, and/or analysis frameworks, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of achievement.

If you are interested in being part of a team of the world’s leading biologists, chemists, and computer scientists, please use the link below to submit your application material. We are prepared to reward exceptionally well-qualified individuals with above-market compensation.
