Programmer position: Bioinformatics, Common Lisp, Python.
I'm quiting my current job to start on my Phd studies, so we need
a replacement. This job is at least partially will involve lisp
programming, even though the official job advertisement does not
mention it. We are looking for a person with good software development
and bioinformatics skills, but we will prefer a good software developer.
The purpose of the position is to make bioinformatics software and
techniques available for norwegian researches.
For example, we have developed a number of online/web based applications
based on the research done at CBU/University of Bergen, and other norwegian
universities. As a part of this we have developed our own inhouse application
server that runs our bioinformatics web applictions. The server is written in
common lisp. The bioinformatics applications themselves are written in either
Python or Common Lisp.
The job will be in an academic environment, and there will be much room
for creativity with respect to the development. We are more interested
in developing useful software than applying the most fashionable
techniques.
Here is the official job announcement:
