Research Software Engineer - Cloud Computing opportunity
Lucio Marcello
Hi all,
I have just joined NextgenBUG and look forward to interacting with you all in the coming months!
For now I am wondering whether you might be able to circulate this job opportunity within your networks for a 12-month
cloud computing post at BioSS, supervised by Paolo Ribeca
(see below for more info). It is an exciting EU
project called CloudButton, and the
position requires and promotes the development
of skills at the interface between
bioinformatics and cloud computing. If you could
help spread the word / knew anybody with the
relevant skills that would be much appreciated!
Many thanks!
All the best,
Lucio

Research Software Engineer- Cloud Computing
We are seeking a research software engineer with a strong background in cloud computing and high-performance scientific computing on a 12-month fixed term contract to undertake the porting of bioinformatics workflows to serverless cloud platforms.
Serverless computing is a novel, exciting cloud computing paradigm, which is increasingly attracting attention due to its lower costs and higher scalability. RNA-sequencing is a high-throughput, data-intensive technique that lies at the heart of modern quantitative biology. The successful applicant will focus on porting to serverless platforms some workflows for the analysis of RNA-sequencing data previously developed by BioSS scientists. The candidate will be supervised by Paolo Ribeca, with long-standing expertise in the field of bioinformatics analysis and methods development
This work will take place as part of the Horizon 2020 project CloudButton – Serverless Data Analytics Platform (https://cloudbutton.eu/). CloudButton is a dynamic consortium which includes a number of world leaders in the field of high-performance computing (among them IBM, Atos, RedHat) and several high-profile academic partners. The successful candidate will interact with such partners and be a key player in the implementation of the genomic use case for CloudButton. Work on the project is a guaranteed gateway to state-of-the-art knowledge in a thriving technological field that is likely to see great expansion in the near future.
BioSS has an international reputation for methodological development in statistics, mathematical modelling and bioinformatics. We offer a stimulating working environment, with over 40 staff and students at four locations, collaborating on applications in plant science, animal health & welfare, ecology & environmental science, and human health and nutrition.
