Emerald is an interdisciplinary, early stage, venture capital-backed startup with a team of scientists and engineers from fields as diverse as computer science, organic chemistry, electrical engineering, cellular biology, mathematics, and chemical engineering. We are working on anti-viral nanotechnology with the potential to dramatically revolutionize and reshape the entire field of therapeutics.

If this sounds compelling, please check out the job description posted at http://bit.ly/RrMe5Y then submit a cover letter and CV to info@emeraldtherapeutics.com (feel free to include your HN username!). Applications will be considered if you are able to adequately address the following "genius" problems in your email:

a) Generate a 500 nt DNA sequence using every base at least once without introducing folds of length greater than 1 nt and without single nucleotide repeats longer than 5 nt (impressive)

b) Generate a sequence of DNA that is as long as possible without introducing reverse complementary or repeated regions of length 9 nt. Hint: maximum length is 131,080 nt (very impressive)
