They think they need someone with a lot of biology. They probably don't--the "best" person for the job--for this job or any job--may or may not have a specific bag o' skills.
The problem is, people like to hire bags o' skills. It's easy to evaluate on paper. It's easy to defend the decision later when the bag o' skills turns out to be an axe murderer or a lush or just a general fuckup. It's hard to try to figure out who's really going to fit in and come kick some ass on behalf of your organization, so most people don't bother.
Bottom line: if I had the technical skills for this (I don't--I'm not a programmer) I, like UT, wouldn't bother to apply. They put that biology degree first on the list of qualifications--before any technical qualification--and that says to me that nobody without it will be interviewed. Maybe they will dig a little deeper if they don't get a hire out of their first round of interviews.
