Scientific Programmer Position at the Nucleic Acid Database
We are seeking candidates for a scientific programmer position to support
development of new tools and database services for macromolecular structure
analysis.
An ideal candidate should have an advanced degree in structural
biology or computational chemistry and strong programming skills.
Demonstrated experience with the following is highly desirable:
proficiency in programming languages C++,and Python, design and
development of large software application systems; webuser interface
development using Java, web service development using SOAP and REST;
database application development using JDBC and MySQL.
The position holder should be able collaborate with broad,
multidisciplinary teams. Excellent written and verbal communication
skills are essential.
The RCSB Protein Data Bank
(www.pdb.org)
is a publicly accessible information portal for researchers and
students interested in structural biology. At its center is the PDB
archive ? the sole international repository for the 3-dimensional
structure data of biological macromolecules. These structures hold
significant promise for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries in the search for new drugs and in efforts to understand
the mysteries of human disease.
The primary mission of the RCSB PDB is to provide accurate,
well-annotated data in the most timely and efficient way possible to
facilitate new discoveries and scientific advances. The RCSB
processes, stores, and disseminates these important data, and develops
the software tools needed to assist users in depositing and accessing
structural information.
The RCSB Protein Data Bank at Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ has
an opening for a Biochemical Information & Annotation Specialist to
curate and standardize macromolecular structures for distribution in
the PDB archive. The annotation specialist communicates daily with
members of the deposition community, and annotates, releases, and
updates entries in the PDB archive. BLAST, PubMed, and other tools are
used for the annotation process performed on a linux box.
A background in biological chemistry (PhD, MS, BS or BA) is required.
Experience with linux computer systems, biological databases,
crystallography, and/or NMR spectroscopy is a strong advantage. The
successful candidate should be self-motivated, pay close attention to
detail, possess strong written and oral communication skills, and meet
deadlines.
This position offers the opportunity to participate in an exciting
project with significant impact on the scientific community.
The Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB http://www.pdb.org/) project at
Rutgers University has a position open for a scientific application

to design, produce and maintain new data processing and annotation
tools for macromolecular structure data.
The position requires: Minimum of Bachelor's degree, higher degree preferred, in
Computational Biology or related discipline; some further experience
in bioinformatics, structural-biology, biology, and/or chemistry;
proficiency in programming languages Java, C++,and Python. Demonstrated
experience with the following is highly desirable: design and development
of large software application systems; webuser interface development
using Java, Javascript and AJAX; web service development using SOAP and
REST; database application development using JDBC and MySQL. The position
holder should be able collaborate with broad, multidisciplinary teams.
