          <p>In 2012, edX reinvented education. In 2013, the edX learning sciences team is charged with reinventing education, again. The goal of the team is to prototype and develop technologies which will radically change the way students learn and instructors teach.

We are looking to opportunistically build a small (3 person), fast-moving team capable of rapidly bringing advanced development projects to prototype and to market. All members of the team must be spectacular software engineers capable of working in or adapting to dynamic, duck typed, functional languages (Python and JavaScript). In addition, we are looking for some combination of:</p>
          <ul>
            <li>Deep expertise in mathematics, and in particular, advanced linear algebra, machine learning, big data, psychometrics, and probability. </li>
            <li>UX design. Capable of envisioning user interface for software that does things that have never been done before, and bringing them through to market. Skills should be broad and range the full gamut: graphic design, UX, HTML5, basic JavaScript, and CSS. </li>
