way that people appreciate and understand.  More importantly, you are also
a true scientist who can approach large data sets, form testable
hypotheses, and then actually test them.  Most importantly, you want to be
part of a truly revolutionary effort to understand microbial genomics on a
scale never before attempted, and you want to do it now.

*Candidates must have:*

   - PhD (or MS and extensive industry experience) in the biological
   sciences or bioinformatics

   shell scripting
   - Experience with Python (or knowledge of multiple languages and
   willingness to learn and work in Python)
   - Experience with SQL databases
   - Experience programming and dealing with large, sometimes ambiguous
   biological data sets (must be able to demonstrate experience organizing,
   hypothesizing, & working with large data sets
   - Experience with genome or metagenome analysis
   - Experience with DNA and protein sequence analysis
   - Laboratory or other research experience, preferably with publications
   that demonstrate the ability to reason and manage complex problems
   - Good prioritization skills for an agile business environment;
   understanding business prioritizations, willingness to reprioritize based
   on new inputs
   - Evidence of project completion
   - A positive, can-do attitude and a strong desire to be part of a
   successful team of bright, capable colleagues
   - Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to
   work in a fast-paced team environment
   - Desire to have coding be a part of your daily routine

*Preferred Qualifications:*

   - Experience with one or more of R, BioPython, Pandas
   - Experience with Object Relational Models
   - Experience working with cloud computing platforms
   - Awesome Excel and PowerPoint skills
   - Ag experience

*AgBiome compensation packages include:*

   - Competitive salary and equity grant
   - Medical, dental, and life insurance
   - 401K plan plus matching company contribution

Interpersonal and scientific communication skills and a desire to achieve
excellence in programming and research are equally important.  The ability
to work independently and in teams is essential as our unique
non-hierarchical and self-managed working environment emphasizes team-work
and the ability to focus on common goals. Flexibility, a good sense of
humor, and a love of research are highly desired.

AgBiome is a revolutionary early stage research and discovery company in
Research Triangle Park, NC, committed to decreasing risk and improving
yield in agriculture in order to feed our growing world
population. Enthusiastic applicants should please submit a cover letter and
