I'm not really looking for a job currently, but I'm interested in who would find someone with my skill set useful: Ph.D. in astrophysics, 15yr research experience, lots of coding in C++ and Python (mostly numerical, Monte Carlo, parallel computation, radiation transfer stuff). In general a pretty all-round kind of guy. If an opportunity came along, I would be interested in something where I could use my knowledge of…

We've started a company to make an energy storage system using compressed air that's 10x cheaper and 10x longer lasting than traditional batteries, while being as efficient. We don't need someone with the skillset immediately, but we would have. Have you considered greentech?

Yeah, that's one of the things I would be most interested in working with.

Thanks, it's nice to know that someone thinks it's useful! I'm just wondering who the right party is... ;-)

It sounds like Google might like to have you on board. Have you considered applying with them?

Actually, I did, but the H1B quota thwarted that... When the next quota period started it was 2009 and they weren't hiring, so I ended up staying in academia and moving to Boston. (I just married an American, so the whole visa deal should soon be over.)

anybody who has lots of data and would like to analyze it would find you extremely valuable. You just pick a domain that interests you.

How about SpaceX? We have a lots of openings for engineers, you might be interested in the software engineering position: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA3/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=SP...

That sounds fun. Maybe once I get my green card I'll get in touch with you guys.

I live on long island(in NY), and would love an entry-level coding opportunity in the area. Obviously I read HN, and I'm always reading and learning more about technology while dabbling with languages. For example, today I've been writing utility scripts in powershell( http://is.gd/dRJWZ ).

I am in SF and aggressively looking!! http://hireclayturk.wordpress.com

Constructive criticism: 1. Not sure about the artfully-dishevelled glamour shot. Something is offputting about it, though I can't put my finger on what it is. 2. "I love being the smartest person in the room, but humbly accept when I am not and love to learn knew things" sounds a little egotistical. I would be concerned that a person who said that might be a little too eager to believe themselves to be the smartest p…

I appreciate the valid points. Thanks for your time!

I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland, quite happy to work remotely, and while I have a good background in tech support and Linux sysadmin, I've also dabbled with HTML5-a-licious mobile webapps, social media toys, VoIP integration, and generally whatever looks interesting to me at the time. Thing is, I've never done anything of the interesting stuff for money. And I'd quite like to. My CV's on github: http://github.com/johnd/cv

How are you with the rest of the LAMP stack? We are not hiring at the moment but may have need for someone like you in the near future.
