Subject: Jobs in the UniProt (content) team at the EBI
Hi all
There are three new Scientific curator positions available on a
3 year contract basis in my group at the EBI.
The curator will contribute to the maintenance and extension of the UniProt databases in a number of ways, depending on their expertise and the requirements of the group. A particular focus at this time is contributing biological expertise to the more computing-intensive improvements to the database(s) contents such as automatic annotation, proteome analysis and data imports.
A university degree in life sciences and a broad knowledge in biochemistry and/or molecular biology are the minimum requirements with a higher degree (MSc/PhD) and/or relevant post-graduate experience desirable.
Previous experience in using Windows, biological databases and sequence analysis tools is required. Database curation experience is advantageous but not essential.
The successful candidate must be detail-oriented and must be able to quickly and accurately interpret scientific data and literature. The position requires the curator to possess excellent communication and organisational skills in orer to interact well under time pressure within a team of software developers and biologists and with external partners.
The closing date is 27 November 2011.
For more information please see the details at

thanks
