Summary
RCSB Protein Data Bank is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral
researcher with domain expertise in organometallic complexes. The
successful candidate will work on the metalloprotein remediation project
that leads to modernized and uniform data representation of PDB entries
containing metalloproteins to make these data Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). This position will involve
collaboration with wwPDB scientists and software developers in a
collaborative team environment. Training will be provided in the design
of PDB data model, PDB small molecule reference dictionaries, PDB
chemical tools, and other related scientific software tools used in
structural biology. The candidate should show an eagerness to learn new
skills and technologies.
She/he will be expected to contribute to this project by
* defining the scope of this project through identification of
existing PDB entries that contain metalloproteins
* conducting scientific review on organometallic complexes in the PDB
entries and identifying issues in the current data representation
and chemical definitions
* creating solutions to overcome current challenges including
establishing new data representation and improving chemical
definitions in the PDB small molecule references
* collaborating with software developers and biocurators on validating
solutions and software testing
Minimal Education and Experience
* PhD in Chemistry, Cheminformatics, or chemistry related disciplines
* Has domain expertise in organometallic complexes
* Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills
* Good documentation habits
Additional Skills are a Plus
* Experience in small molecule crystallography
* Experience in macromolecular structures
* Experience working with large and complex scientific datasets
* Self-motivation and independence
* A track record of productive research results
