Job: Junior Research Software Engineer/ Research Software Engineer - web resources for virology

The post holder will join the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) (http://www.cvr.ac.uk/) and make a leading contribution to developing database and web resources associated with our viral pathogen projects. The postholder will help with support, maintenance and development of the underlying software and database framework for managing data and associated web interfaces of specific virus resources in line with CVR research priorities. The post is suited to a highly motivated individual with a keen interest in virus research and with relevant experience, and/or Masters or PhD-level training ideally in bioinformatics web resources. The successful candidate will have a track record in software engineering with experience of databases and web development. Direct experience of bioinformatics, computational and evolutionary biology, and/or virology would be a distinct advantage.

software developer web virology

1 answer

Just to reinterpret this. Requirements:

  • Virology
  • Web frameworks (presumably Django, Flask, or React)
  • Data engineering (ETL frameworks usually SnowFlake, Glue, or Spark)
  • Databases: SQL and/or noSQL (probably mySQL)
  • Evolutionary biology (probably trees)

This is a request for a full-stack developer with data engineering, virology and preference for data science evolutionary biology.

Thats not quite how industry delineates its skill base: full-stack vs engineering vs data science are 3 separate disciplines.

The essential requirements are web/databases and the virology/evolutionary are desirable.
