Employment at HDF Group

Java Scientific Programmer (Part time)

The person working in this position will be responsible for converting an existing open-source
bioinformatics data viewer to work as a plugin to HDFView. This position requires some knowledge
of molecular biology. This knowledge does not need to be in-depth – a candidate just needs to know
enough to understand the source code of the potential plugin. The knowledge gained from a
freshman biology course would probably be fine.

The required skills we are looking for in a candidate are:

Strong Java background.
Ability to do graphics programming in Java using Swing.
Some background in molecular biology (see above).
A responsible work ethic.

The following skills are desired, but not required:

Experience with Test Driven Development (TDD).
Ability to work with source code control.
Knowledge of HDF would be a big plus but is not required.
