Programmer position available. Worldwide immunization is bottlenecked by the difficulty of distributing mRNA vaccines, whose poor stability currently requires ultra-deep-freeze storage. Through 2020, my lab, Stanford’s OpenVaccine consortium, the Eterna crowdsourcing project, and Kaggle competitors have developed methods to stabilize these mRNA molecules. We are currently limited by the slow speed of RNA secondary structure modeling and design methods, and seek an extremely fast and detail-oriented programmer to rapidly re-code dynamic programming methods by February 2021. This much-needed code will be made available freely under BSD-3 license for all upcoming research on RNA medicines in academia and industry.
