2 Web/software developers

Information about the project
This position will assist a systems biology and bioinformatics teams in developing informatics resources for modeling and simulation of biological systems. We aim to implement a web interface to an array of tools for analysis and integration of genomic and systems biology data, develop a scalable data management system and a set of novel data visualization solutions. These informatics resources will be a part of a general bioinformatics and systems biology infrastructure in Sweden. We are a strong international team of molecular, computational and systems biologists and bioinformaticians focused on research of metabolism of simple and complex systems. For more information about the group, please check http://sysbio.se/.

"Chalmers Systems Biology Infrastructure" is operationally equivalent to the "Systems Biology Facility" at Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab). This group has 2 major tasks; the first is to provide advanced computational support in peer reviewed research projects and the second task is to provide the above mentioned informatics resources as a service to the Swedish research community.

Job description
The successful candidates will assist in developing future-forward and scalable web applications to host systems biology data with focus on new methods for visualization; developing scalable data management system; develop new and automate existing software pipelines for genomic data analysis; help end-users in data mining tasks; provide high-quality documentation; collaborate with team members to identify and resolve data integration, distribution, and visualization issues; attend workshops and training courses.
