Thorough knowledge of a modern programming language (Java, C++, Python,
etc.) is required. The candidate must have outstanding communication
skills and be able to talk with biologists and understand where their data
bottlenecks are and how to solve them. A solid understanding of
bioinformatics algorithms and a good grasp of statistics is essential.
Experience in using Linux computer clusters is desirable as the candidate
must be able to apply these to analyze problems on the large data sets of
post-genomic biology. A Masters in Bioinformatics, Biology, Computer
Science or a related field is required (Ph.D. preferred).
