Dear all
We are part of a consortium which has recently been funded by the Wellcome
Trust to develop and disseminate validation tools to assess the quality of
cryoEM reconstructions and fitted models. The other members of the project are
STFC, Francis Crick Institute, Birkbeck College, University of Manchester, and
the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.
We are looking for a scientific programmer tol:
• Expand and improve the repertoire of stand-alone validation servers
for the EM community offered by EMBL-EBI, such as the Fourier Shell Correlation
server (emdb-empiar.org/fsc) and the Tilt Pair Validation server
(emdb-empiar.org/tiltpair)
• Expand the visual analysis web service (e.g.,
emdb-empiar.org/emd-984/analysis) that provides validation information on EMDB
entries with the components to be developed by project partners
• Develop reporting formats for depositing validation information,
e.g., from local resolution methods such as ResMap.
Qualifications and Experience
Applicants should have a Masters/PhD degree in a structural biology related
field (e.g., 3DEM, X-ray crystallography, and NMR) and at least one years
experience in software development (preferably related to a structural biology
project). Applicants should have a good understanding of the image formation
and image processing concepts in at least one structural field and be prepared
to learn relevant concepts for the project.
Excellent written and oral communication skills, fluency in English, ability to
work in a team, and attention to detail are required. The position may require
occasional travel, mainly in the UK.
