The RCSB Protein Data Bank (http://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
We have multiple positions opening. A background in cryo-electron
microscopy or small molecule crystallography or macromolecular
crystallography is a strong advantage. Biological chemistry (PhD, MS, BS
or BA) is required. Experience with linux computer systems, biological
databases is preferred. 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
