We do not currently have any openings in the software development team.
The Ideker Lab develops bioinformatic resources for network analysis that are widely used by the biological and biomedical research community. The best known is Cytoscape, a collaborative open-source platform for visualizing and analyzing complex networks. Cytoscape is widely used, with tens of thousands of downloads per month and more than 25,000 citations from research papers. NDEx, the Network Data Exchange, is another major project. NDEx is a public web resource for sharing, storing, accessing, and publishing biological networks on the cloud. For more information about the Cytoscape Ecosystem & NDEx Network Cloud, visit the Software & Platforms page.
If interested in future positions with the Software Development Team, you may contact Jing Chen by email at jic002@health.ucsd.edu. Please provide your current CV and professional references.
