Andrej:
I would be most grateful if you could circulate the
job posting below to anyone you think would benefit
from continuing their career at RCSB PDB West
With thanks in advance and best wishes SKB
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/static.do?p=general_information/about_pdb/contact/job_listings.htmlScientific Software Developer
Develop, implement, and maintain complex scientific and web-based software
systems for the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB; http://www.rcsb.org) at the
University of California San Diego (UCSD).
The Scientific Software Developer will work closely and collaboratively
with other software developers and scientists at the San Diego
Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and the RCSB PDB partner sites to expand
RCSB.org's functionality and reliability as a premier biological data and
information resource.
* Develop new scalable algorithms for the mining and analysis of the
rapidly growing PDB archive using leading edge Big Data technologies.
Design and implement user interfaces for the query, analysis, reporting,
and visualization of 3D structural information and associated annotations.
* Integrate external database resources with RCSB PDB to provide a
structural view of biology. Help lead the design of databases and data
warehouses to store and aid in the query of data.
* Recommend and implement changes in software development, maintenance and
system standards for analysis algorithms, tools, and infrastructure.
* Serve as a recognized expert on relevant scientific and technical
aspects of the various web, web services, and database components of the
RCSB PDB. Stays abreast of the latest development in structural and
computational biology and new technologies.
* Applies advanced bioinformatics concepts to design, develop, modify,
debug, and evaluate highly complex software programs and web tools.
Translates scientific problems into scalable and maintainable software
solutions that meet end user needs.
Qualifications: Advanced understanding of programming in one or more
languages is required (Java, Python or Javascript); In-depth understanding
of Bioinformatics; understanding of Biology or Chemistry; and an advanced
degree
Postdoctoral Fellows
The Challenge: Develop innovative analysis, integration, query, and
visualization tools for 3D biomolecular structures to help accelerate
research and training in biology, medicine, and related disciplines. In
these projects, we employ the latest advances in computer science to
develop highly interactive features and scalable services and workflows.
The overall goal is always to develop highly interactive features for the
RCSB PDB website.
Two positions are available: one focused on Visualization and on one
Macromolecular Structure/Biological Assemblies. Possible project areas
include:
* Innovative representations for 3D structural data, including biological
assemblies
* Visualizations for comparative analyses
* Multiscale rendering for exploring large structures
* Using machine learning to build the next generation search engine for
molecular biology
