Job:Bioinformatics Consultant: flexible hours, exciting science: Diamond Age Data Science, Boston, USA (open to remote working)

Question

[Eleanor Howe]

Diamond Age Data Science helps fast-moving biotech and small pharmaceutical companies make the best use of publicly-available and private data by creating robust informatics systems and analyzing complex biological datasets. For fledgling companies, Diamond Age can function as a one-stop bioinformatics department, helping to answer both scientific and strategic questions (e.g., how to precisely identify mechanisms of action, where and how to store large/complex datasets, build vs. buy). For more mature companies, Diamond Age provides targeted bioinformatics services designed to fit into existing scientific strategies, with special expertise in transcriptional profiling and sequencing.

It turns out many companies need services like these, so Diamond Age is hiring. We’re looking for experienced computational biologists, whether formally trained in a MS or PhD Bioinformatics program or informally trained by extensive experience doing computational science and engineering. We offer a flexible work schedule, exciting scientific and engineering projects, and a work environment of respect and mutual support.

We’re open to remote work: You’ll be expected to participate in teleconferences and attend virtual meetings on a schedule compatible with the Eastern US time zone.

We are also hiring at multiple levels. Please see the two lists of requirements below to get a feel for what we’re looking for. We would love to speak to anyone who falls between these two sets of requirements as well. Pay is commensurate with experience.
