[Myexperiment-discuss] Hiring Taverna people

[Richard Holland]

Hi all,

Apologies for posting job ads to the lists but I think this one is relevant to 
the members so please forgive me. We're looking for someone who either knows 
Taverna inside out, or knows enough about it to be able to learn it inside out 
with relative ease.

If you know of anyone that might be interested, could you forward them this? 
Also if you have any local resources for posting job ads, it would be great if 
you could put it there as well.

Note that this ad is actually for two roles - one of which is entirely 
un-Taverna, being Perl/Ensembl based, but I've left both of them in this 
posting just in case it reaches any Perl gurus by chance. :)

thanks!
Richard


1. Senior Bioinformatics Software Developer (Perl/Ensembl)
2. Senior Bioinformatics Software Developer (Java/Taverna)

Eagle Genomics Ltd., Cambridge, UK
http://www.eaglegenomics.com/

We are a young and exciting bioinformatics company looking to revolutionise the 
way in which
industry and academia work together. We are based at the heart of Europe's 
largest biotech cluster in
Cambridge, UK. As we expand our client base, we're looking to build a talented 
and committed
team of experts. We are currently looking for TWO top-class developers to work 
on a wide range of
complex projects. Both these roles involve a large element of customer support 
and so you'll need to
be friendly, communicative, and happy to work face-to-face with our customers 
on a daily basis.
You will have had substantial prior experience working in a life science 
company or research
institute.

For the Perl/Ensembl role, you will have had extensive experience as a Perl 
developer and ideally
you will have written code or plugins for the Ensembl Genome Browser or used 
its APIs in your
own progams.

For the Java/Taverna role you will be an expert Java developer with the ability 
to rapidly analyse
and understand complex systems. Ideally you will have written code or plugins 
for the Taverna
project or written code that makes use of it.

For both roles, in addition to your superb technical and customer service 
skills, you will also:
● be able to communicate clearly and proactively,
● have the ability to quickly translate scientific problems into real software 
solutions,
● be able to put technical concepts into simple language for end users to 
understand,
● be able to pick up new skills and techniques in record time,
● work well in a collaborative team environment,
● be creative, innovative, and forward-thinking.

You will also have had hands-on experience in at least two of the following:
● SQL query design,
● Open-source bioinformatics toolkits such as BioPerl, BioJava, BioSQL, etc.,
● Amazon EC2,
● Workflow/pipeline design,
● System and user documentation,
● Developing user training courses.

The successful candidate would be expected to work from our offices near 
Cambridge, however
remote working in the UK/Europe may be considered for exceptional candidates 
(depending on
exact location). We offer a competitive salary and a range of company benefits.

To apply, please send your CV and cover letter as PDF documents to jobs 
@eaglegenomics.com . We
are only able to offer positions to EEA citizens and permanent residents or 
existing holders of UK
Tier 1 migrant visas.

Closing date: 8th JANUARY 2010. Starting date negotiable.
