Truth or Consequences VAT
My vision for this blog (for 2011) is to focus my writing on subjects that allow me to share my learning experiences to help others. I've been around the science world, done a lot of different jobs, and studied a wide variety of subjects. My research has encompassed the areas of cancer genetics, oncogenes, cannabinoids, protein expression and purification, microbiology, and environmental science. I'm from the east coast but have lived in the south, midwest, and west coast. After a second postdoc, I moved to industry and worked in sales and marketing before following my heart and landing my dream job in research and development. My goal is to help anyone who has questions about their career or their science. You can send me questions (through this site or twitter @jadebio) and I will answer you in an article or privately if you prefer. Also, I'll write about non-science subjects too. There really is more to life than work. As Richard Bach said, "you teach best what you most need to learn." Welcome and feel free to contact me anytime.
My posts are presented as opinion and commentary and do not represent the views of LabSpaces Productions, LLC, my employer, or my educational institution.

Anyone with strong bioinformatics skills looking for a job with a fantastic energetic new PI at the University of Arizona?
Today I spent time with a friend and new PI at the University of Arizona talking about her metagenomics projects. She's been advertising for an opening for a computational biologist for quite a while. She tells me that she can't find anyone to fill this position because they are in such high demand and there are so few people who have the skills so they are all getting jobs fast. She is looking for a postdoc or would even support a grad student for their PhD if they wanted to do the work.
Apparently a research associate with bioinformatics expertise can get a job in industry for as much as $90K a year, making it hard to find qualified candidates who want to work in academics labs.
So if you are looking to increase your marketability with a highly valued skill set in popular demand, then computational biology looks to be the way to go.
And if anyone is interested in the position at U of A, email me.
