We welcome people with diverse backgrounds. It does not matter if you are an experimental biologist, computational scientist, or a machine learning researcher. We respect curiosity, hard work, and most importantly, the ability to ask challenging questions.
There are always open positions that may be of interest. Do drop in an email [my last name followed by ‘a’]@anl.gov if you are interested in joining us.
