The Senior Associate Creative Technologist position will supervise a project to design, develop, and disseminate an online venom knowledge base, to build a cutting-edge online repository that collates venom data across taxa and integrates omic, morphological, and functional datasets. This is a highly multidisciplinary project that requires strong communication skills to connect researchers of different backgrounds, including evolutionary biologists, chemists, neuroscientists, engineers, aquarists, artists and vendors.
Responsibilities include, but not limited to collecting, coordinating venom datasets from sample taxa across tree of life, processing and analyzing data, interfacing with venom labs internationally to build an online VenomBase repository and other novel tools for advancing comparative analyses of venom data. Part of the responsibilities will be the supervision of graduate students, undergraduate students and research assistants. A distinct combination of skills in computer science, design, prototyping, ideation, design software, analytical data analysis, fabrication, and project management will make the ideal candidate for this position.
