Hi folks,
I wanted to reach out to the community here and let everyone know that we
are currently seeking an intern with mad "R" skillz. The intern would
build
an "R" package to enable bioinformaticians to frictionlessly interact
with
Syapse, a cloud-based web application that accelerates biomedical product
development. A more complete job description is below. Please let me know if
you or someone you know is well-qualified and interested.
Best,
Matt
