Hi all-
a job posting below for a developer for Foldit to do crystallography and cryo-em tool development:
Entry level developer position on the Foldit Team, focused on extending the Foldit framework to incorporate experimental data into the human modeling process.
This position will focus on the creation of a multi-scale modeling toolbox, integrating new crystallography refinement capabilities within Foldit and adding new modes that allow much larger proteins to be handled in Foldit for cryo-EM.
The ultimate goal of this work is to make Foldit a state-of-the-art structure solving suite for crystallography and cryo-EM.
Salary commensurate with experience.
Location: Remote (proximity to Seattle, Boston, or Denver encouraged)
Basic Qualifications:
- A bachelor’s in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Engineering or a related field.
- Proficiency in C++.
