Champaign, IL. I have compelling personal reasons to stay here for about the next year, but would be happy to telecommute and willing to relocate afterwards.

I have a BS in Physics and am currently finishing a MS in Materials Science, but I'm looking to move into a more computational direction. I have a lot of experience with the analysis of large data sets, computer vision and image processing problems, and knowledge of cluster and cloud computing; and I've got a strong interest in machine learning and statistical analysis. Most of my programming experience has been in Matlab and Java, with a bit of Python, Fortran and R mixed in.

Boulder, Colorado. Unable to relocate. I've coded a good deal in Perl, C, and Lua, and have been learning Scheme for quite some time as well. I'm comfortable with Linux (bash included), OS X, and Windows. I'm willing and able to learn new languages/systems. Currently a senior majoring in Linguistics (human), though most of my jobs through college have been with computers. Please feel free to email me -- my email addr…

send an email to jobs@boulder.me and I will pass it on.

I am looking for a job in Toronto, ON. I am mostly comfortable with C/C++, but if the domain is interesting enough languages will be a small part of the whole piece so I am happy to jump on other technology stacks as required. My "anonymous" email is nickel-plate@hotmail.com .

Figured since I started the thread I should participate:

CS Degree (honors) from Duke, and Law(JD) and Business(cert) degree from UPenn. Don't want to be a lawyer, it really is soul sucking :) (no offense to you lawyers out there!). Have worked in both a startup environment and that of a large corporation. Comfortable in Java, Scala, Ruby, Javascript. Have built apps in Struts, Rails, Spring, Webwork, and Lift. Minimum competency in C++, Objective-C.

Would like to get in on the ground floor with an exciting startup that is doing challenging work.

Living in Philly. Willing to move anywhere (well, mostly). Email is in the profile.

Dunedin, New Zealand

9 years experience doing web development work, mostly with PHP and MySQL. Looking for contract or freelance work. Would prefer to telecommute (as I'm all the way down at the bottom of the world). Have plenty of experience working remotely.

A couple years ago I made a site to stay organized when looking for a job, http://www.happyjobsearch.com/ . I made it after I got laid off for the second time in 3 months. I needed an efficient, systematic approach to looking at job listings and keeping track of what I needed to do for each opportunity. It's like GTD but just for job hunting. It's free and it's quick to sign up. So I hope no one minds my posting it h…

I'm just amazed you did that whole site in one weekend.

I quit my Ph.D in astrophysics to spend a 3-year "sabbatical" in Asia (it's absurdly cheap to live there). I used that time to pursue research ideas in AI and compiler design. I just came back to Montreal, to look for contract work. I'm particularly fond of biology projects, but I'd consider anything interesting, anywhere in North America. Lisp/Python/C
