Job Summary
Join a small dynamic team of software developers, biologists, and biocuration scientists to help experimental results (data and metadata) flow from bench researchers to knowledgebases in an efficient and user-friendly manner. The project is at the interface of several knowledgebase projects –microPublication Biology, the Alliance of Genome Resources, WormBase and the Gene Ontology Consortium – and involves a larger group distributed world-wide. Will work with existing open source computer code as well as develop new software and will be involved in many computational aspects of the project.
This is an opportunity to work with scientists and researchers across many disciplines. An enthusiasm for developing tools to enable open, collaborative, and reproducible biomedical research is essential. MicroPublication Biology (www.micropublication.org) mission is to transform science communication by publishing single, validated results that include novel findings, negative and/or reproduced results, and results that are perceived to lack high impact. We want to enhance our novel scientific publishing platform to support author curation of biological information. The Alliance of Genome Resources (alliancegenome.org) is developing sustainable genome information resources that facilitate the use of diverse intensively-studied organisms in understanding the genetic and genomic basis of human biology, health and disease, and supports about 1 million users.
