Galaxy is hiring

The Galaxy project currently has open positions in both the Johns Hopkins University and Penn State groups.

Opening at Penn State
**[Penn State](/src/community/Penn State/index.md): System administrators/analysts**

The [Nekrutenko Lab](http://www.bx.psu.edu/~anton/) at the [Huck Institutes of Life Sciences](http://www.huck.psu.edu/) at [Penn State](http://psu.edu/) is currently recruiting system analysts/administrators with experience in building and maintaining complex performance compute environments. The areas of immediate need include:
  • Storage balancing and tiered storage
  • Virtualization
  • Schedulers
  • Deployment of Galaxy instances and dependence management
  • Relational databases and query optimization
  • User management

A minimum of 5 year experience with UNIX/Linux system administration is required. Applicants should submit a CV and list of references to [gxyhiring AT galaxyproject DOT org](mailto:gxyhiring AT galaxyproject DOT org).

Openings at Johns Hopkins University
**[Johns Hopkins University](http://jamestaylor.org/): Software Engineers and Post-Docs**

The Taylor Lab in the Biology and Computer Science departments at Johns Hopkins University is looking for software engineers and postdoctoral scholars to work on the Galaxy project.

We are seeking software engineers with expertise in distributed computing and systems programming, web-based visualization and visual analytics, informatics and data analysis and integration, and bioinformatics application areas such as re-sequencing, de novo assembly, metagenomics, transcriptome analysis and epigenetics. These are full time positions located in Baltimore, MD. See the official posting for full details.

Postdoctoral applicants should have expertise in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and research interests that complement but extend the lab's current interests: The Galaxy project; distributed and high-performance computing for data intensive science; vertebrate functional genomics; and genomics and epigenomic mechanisms of gene regulation, the role of transcription factors and chromatin structure in global gene expression, development, and differentiation. See the announcement for full details.
