• Strong project management skills with experience leading complex software development projects.
• Knowledge of whole-cell modeling, systems biology, or computational biology.
• Familiarity with multiscale simulation frameworks, including approaches integrating mechanistic models, AI/ML methods, and probabilistic simulations.
• Experience with high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud-based software deployment.
• Expertise in API development and integration of custom user interfaces for scientific computing.
• Proficiency in Python.
• Knowledge of data integration, version control, and FAIR data management.
• Familiarity with Docker, containerization technologies, and scalable computing environments.
• Experience with collaborative software development, open-source tools, and community-driven platforms.
• Strong ability to analyze technical requirements and align them with research and engineering goals.

EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING:

• Five (5) years of experience in IT project management, software engineering, or systems integration, with a focus on scientific or research-based computing.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience in whole-cell modeling, systems biology, or computational biophysics.
• Knowledge of high-throughput biological data analysis and integration.
• Familiarity with experimental data repositories (EDD, EcoCyc) and interoperability standards.
• Proficiency in developing interactive visualization tools for biological modeling.
• Experience working on government-funded research projects (e.g., DARPA, NIH, NSF-funded initiatives).
• Project Management Professional certification, Certified Scrum Master (CSM), or experience in agile software development is preferred.
  Full-Time Equivalent Minimum Salary: $150,000

• Leads and manages the development of Vivarium; a modular, multiscale simulation software framework for whole-cell modeling.
• Oversees software architecture and implementation, ensuring compatibility with omics, physiological, and population-scale models.
• Coordinates collaborations with software developers, data scientists, computational biologists, and external research partners (e.g., DARPA, IV&V partners, and EcoCyc developers).
• Guides the integration of modular biological processes, allowing for seamless incorporation of mechanistic, AI/ML, and probabilistic models into a unified simulation framework.
• Implements flexible deployment options, supporting local execution, HPC deployment, and secure cloud-hosted API configurations.
• Develops smart notebooks and custom interfaces that allow users to configure, execute, and analyze simulations for biomanufacturing and antibiotic resistance applications.
• Ensures that all projects adhere to best practices in software development, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, CUI standards), and FAIR data principles.
• Provides documentation, user training, and technical support to facilitate widespread adoption and effective use of the platform.
