Hi Tom,

 

It has been quite a while, so I hope this reaches you well. One of the companies I am working with is looking for a bioinformaticist or two. I thought I would pass the job description along in case any of the students or post-docs graduating this year are looking around. Have them contact me if they are interested.

 

Best regards,

 

J
