The research group led by Prof. Douglas Densmore is hiring a computational lab technician to maintain and develop computational tools and manage IT systems for the Design, Automation, Manufacturing, and Prototyping (DAMP) and the Cross- disciplinary Integration of Design Automation Research (CIDAR) labs. These are part of the Biological Design Center, Biomedical Engineering Department, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University. The labs focus on specifying, designing, building, and testing novel biological systems and microfluidic approaches in a fast, standard, cost-effective, and reproducible manner. Using the DAMP and CIDAR lab's infrastructure including liquid handling robots, RT-qPCR machines, advanced microscopy, and microfluidic fabrication equipment, this position will also help to develop and improve computational software tools for automating hardware workflows and microfluidic devices for use in Synthetic Biology applications. Further, this position will collaborate with biologists, engineers, designers, and lab managers to execute on a broad range of projects, from building new software features to improve user experiences, to architecting infrastructure to support a fast-growing user base and research needs. Finally, the candidate will program, create protocols, manage deployment, and maintain all computer hardware and software to ensure the smooth running of computer systems, under the direct supervision of the DAMP lab manager.
