Though we are a non-profit research institute, I don’t want that to be an excuse here: I’m looking to hire the very best software engineers to build a new foundation for all of genomics. That’s not a small task, and I certainly don’t want folks to feel like their careers are hindered by working on such an important and hard problem. As I outlined above, I think we are hitting that mark on being competitive at face value today. I do appreciate the sentiment though! Postdocs are vastly underappreciated, and we do work right alongside many.
Another very important note: it’s definitely not a support role. This is a role where our team owns the intellectual contribution of what needs building and how it’s built. Just wanted to make sure that’s clear!
Some people would like it just for the contribution they are making, and the salary is far from shitty. The top of the range would triple my own anyhow.
