Dear CCP4BB-ers, The Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; http://pdbe.org/) is urgently seeking to recruit an experienced scientific programmer to develop and maintain validation and analysis tools for biomacromolecular structure data. Applicants should ideally be established structural biologists with a proven track record in methods/software development in the area of protein-ligand crystallography, validation and structure analysis, and with an outstanding publication record. The post holder will be responsible for: - Developing and maintaining the wwPDB validation pipelines, used during and prior to structure deposition and after structure release, using input from the wwPDB Validation Task Forces and the PDBe Team Leader. - Developing and maintaining structure analysis and comparison tools such as PDBePISA and PDBeFold. - Developing innovative tools to present structural data and validation information on biomacromolecules and ligands. - Working with other PDBe staff to integrate validation information into the PDBe query system and the PDB and EMDB entry pages. - Acting as a source of expertise to the PDBe team on issues of validation and ligands (in the context of deposition, annotation, databases and services). Note: in order to have overlap with the current post-holder we aim for a starting date no later than 1 July. For more information about the post, see: https://ig14.i-grasp.com/fe/tpl_embl01.asp?newms=jj&id=53803&aid=15470 Please feel free to pass on this information to any potentially suitable candidates you may be aware of.
