[Biojava-dev] [Job] Postdoctoral Fellow Computational Biology

[Rose, Peter]

San Diego Supercomputer Center
Postdoctoral Fellow

 
Summary: We are looking for two highly motivated post-docs as part of our
new project ³Compressive Structural Bioinformatics² funded by the US
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K)
initiative. 
 
The Challenge: To enable efficient research on the rapidly growing number
of 3D molecular structures of ever increasing size and complexity. Develop
highly scalable 3D structural search, analysis, workflow, data-exchange,
and visualization tools.

 
Qualifications: Ph.D. in structural bioinformatics, structural biology,
bioinformatics, computational biology or chemistry, computer science, or
related discipline. Experience with scientific software development as
demonstrated by publications or participation in open source software
projects. Experience with several programming languages, including Java,
JavaScript, C++, or Python, and software development tools. Strong skills
in applied mathematics and algorithm design are required. Experience with
distributed parallel computing or 3D visualization applications are a
plus. Excellent interpersonal, written, and oral presentation skills are
essential.
 
Note, this position is reviewed annually on the basis of performance and
can be renewed for a maximum of three years.
 

Our Environment:
 
The Structural Bioinformatics Group (http://bioinformatics.sdsc.edu
<http://bioinformatics.sdsc.edu/>) at the San Diego Supercomputer Center
(SDSC) (http://www.sdsc.edu <http://www.sdsc.edu/>) is involved in
research and development activities centered around 3D structures of
proteins and nucleic acids, the integration of structural data with other
domains such as Medicine, Genomics, Biology, Drug Discovery, and the
development of scalable solution to Big Data problems in Structural
Bioinformatics. Our group leads the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB)
west-coast operations. The RCSB PDB (http://www.rcsb.org
<http://www.rcsb.org/>) represents the preeminent source of experimentally
determined macromolecular structure information for research and teaching
in biology, biological chemistry, and medicine. With over 300,000 unique
users from over 160 countries around the world, the RCSB PDB is one of the
leading worldwide Biological Databases.
 
As an Organized Research Unit of UC San Diego, SDSC is a world leader in
data-intensive computing and cyber infrastructure, providing resources,
services, and expertise to the national research community, including
industry and academia.

 
To apply, please send cover letter and resume to Dr. Peter Rose
(pwrose at ucsd.edu).
