https://main-princeton.icims.com/jobs/8813/research-software-engineer/job.
Do you want to help enable and advance groundbreaking Molecular
Biology research through software development? Do you have a background in
research but love to write code? Are you looking to apply your scientific
programming expertise to a novel set of research problems? If so, Princeton
University's Research Computing department is recruiting a Research
Software Engineer to join the fast-growing Research Software Engineering
(RSE) Group.
In this position, you will be an integral member of multiple research
teams focused on cutting-edge computational molecular biology and
bioinformatics research. You will join teams of researchers associated with
the Department of Molecular Biology to provide computational expertise in
algorithm development and software design in order to create high-quality
and sustainable research code.
This position will require you to work closely with colleagues in the
Office of Information Technology (OIT) as well as with faculty,
student/postdoctoral researchers, and technical staff in Molecular Biology
to enable and accelerate research software development within the
department.
Responsibilities
• Lead and co-lead the design and construction of increasingly complex
research software systems. In particular, develop tools to assist
researchers with image processing and algorithms for analyzing
high-throughput quantitative DNA and RNA sequence analysis.

and quality of existing computational code bases.
• Understand and address software engineering questions that arise in
research planning.
• Maintain knowledge of current and future software development tools
and techniques, programming languages, and computing hardware.
• Transfer knowledge, expertise, and methodologies by providing
technical assistance and mentorship to graduate students and postdoctoral
researchers.
Qualifications
• Strong programming skills, particularly in languages used in
Molecular Biology applications (e.g. Python, C, C++, R, MATLAB).
• Demonstrated successes working in a collaborative software development
environment as well as independently.
• Ability to learn new systems beyond area of core knowledge.
• Ability to communicate effectively with a diverse user base having
