We are currently prioritizing a bioinformatician to develop Nextstrain workflows and a software engineer to do full-stack Nextstrain development. We are also particularly interested in postdoc candidates whose expertise includes genomic epidemiology, pathogen evolution or machine learning.

We are hiring across scientific and staff positions. We place particular emphasis on evolution, epidemiology, virology and immunology, and especially their intersection. Lab members have spanned biologists, statisticians, physicists and computer scientists, high school students through postdocs. We are committed to improving diversity in the computational sciences. Applicants of diverse backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply.

Graduate students

Graduate students from the MCB program, the UW Department of Epidemiology, the UW Department of Genome Sciences and the UW MSTP program can join the group. Rotation students are welcome. Please inquire if you’re thinking about graduate school and we can advise on appropriate programs at the UW.
