Steen & Steen Lab Open Postions
The Steen & Steen group focuses on proteomics and mass spectrometry methods with special emphasis
on neurobiology and cell cycle regulation. Our lab members have backgrounds in
molecular biology, biochemistry, physicis, statistics and computer science. We
are equipped with LTQ, LTQ-Orbitrap, FT-ICR and QSTAR XL mass spectrometers and
are constantly expanding our computational resources.
Intern and Student Positions
Computational Proteomics / Bioinformatics
The Proteomics Center at Children's Hospital Boston has an open position for an
intern/summer student in the field of computational proteomics and/or bioinformatics.
We are looking for someone to work in a distributed, international team of
computational scientists developing, implementing and validating a novel
framework for the analysis of quantitative mass spectrometric data. Our
algorithmic procedures and applications sift through significant amounts of
data, rely on cutting-edge technology and research, and involve non-trivial
statistics as well as tough computational side constraints. In short: no
trivialities. Interested? Read on.
Applicants need to have substantial
programming experience in C/C++, and basic Linux/UNIX skills are a must (we
develop on multiple platforms). Experience with XML, cmake, SVN, R, Matlab
and/or mass spectrometry, and/or biology background are a plus. We expect
responsible and reliable work ethics, commitment and a sense of perfectionism.
To apply, please contact Dr. Hanno Steen (Hanno.steen@childrens.harvard.edu).
Please enclose your C.V., links to publicly available open source C++ projects
that you authored and/or a C++ solution to
this programming puzzle.
Postdoctoral Researcher and Research Fellow Positions
Computational Proteomics / Bioinformatics
The Proteomics Center at Children's Hospital Boston has an open position for a
research fellow in the field of computational proteomics / bioinformatics.
The position combines independent research and implementation/algorithmic
projects and extensions related to our in-house data analysis pipeline. You will
also be involved in providing computational and statistical support and finding
solutions to statistical problems in close collaboration with all group members.
Candidates should have strong software development (C# or C++) and database
management skills, substantial experience in statistics and statistical
learning, and basic biochemistry knowledge. Experience in mass spectrometry data
analysis or proteomics is a plus.
If you are prepared to work in a fast-paced and vibrant field of research, among
friendly, excellent, and highly motivated members of a interdisciplinary
research group, contact Prof. Dr. Hanno Steen (http://steenlab.org). Please
enclose your C.V., a list of publications, and a list of three references.
