We are seeking developers to join the Aquarium human-in-the-loop
automated lab project. The project involves an energetic and
interdisciplinary team of engineers and biologists united by the common
goal of making engineering synthetic living cells easier to build.
Aquarium works by breaking down the complex steps of molecular biology
experiments into simple instructions presented on touchscreen monitors
to laboratory technicians. Join our team and help design the cutting
edge software, user interfaces, and cloud-based services that will
revolutionize laboratory work. Experience in one or more of the
following areas is desired: Ruby/Rails, Python, Javascript (jQuery,
AngularJS), HTML5, SVG, MySQL, and/or Amazon Web Services.
We
have several positions open for current undergraduates or masters
students. If interested, please send your CV and an unofficial UW
transcript to professor Eric Klavins at klavins@uw.edu.
About the Klavins Lab:
We develop synthetic living systems, re-engineered organisms, and
engineered parts for existing organisms. Our emphasis is on designing
gene circuits and cell-cell communication systems that enable novel
multicellular behaviors in bacteria or yeast. We take an engineering
approach to this challenge, and are interested in the whole pathway from
modeling and design of new systems to fabrication and testing of new
living systems.
