Software Developer positions with Lewis group in Berkeley: http://
berkeleybop.org/content/jobs/
The Berkeley Bioinformatics and Ontologies Project (BBOP, http://
berkeleybop.org), located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
(LBNL), is seeking three software developers to craft tools for the
collection, annotation, and integration of biomedical data. The BBOP
is a founding member of the Gene Ontology Consortium, the OBO-
Foundry, and a part of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology.
We have a long history developing open source software and databases
for Drosophila and other model organisms, and are an original member
of the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project. We are an
extremely collaborative team that is built upon the creative sharing
of ideas among bright individuals.
1. modENCODE
The applicant will work on an important new project, modENCODE, whose
aim is to discover and explore the genomes of C. elegans and D.
melanogaster , using new scientific strategies and new technologies
for discovery. It is a collaborative project with Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory, Cambridge University, University of California Santa
Cruz. The applicant will be responsible for collecting and collating
experimental data from many different sources. [see http://
berkeleybop.org/content/jobs/modENCODE.shtml for more...]
2. NCBO/BIRN
The applicant will work on an important new collaboration between the
National Center for Biomedical Ontologies (NCBO) and the Biomedical
Informatics Research Network (BIRN). The BIRN, based at the
University of California San Diego, is an initiative within the
National Institutes of Health that fosters large-scale collaborations
in biomedical science by utilizing the capabilities of the emerging
cyberinfrastructure. BIRN is targeting advances in understanding the
genetics of human disease by identifying correlations between genetic
insults and neuropathological processes. The database mediation
software will support ontological query and retrieval of image
information based on phenotypic descriptions. Our role is to assist
in building the requisite data and knowledge stores, by building
ontology-directed graphs for query navigation. [see http://
berkeleybop.org/content/jobs/BIRN.shtml for more ...]
3. APOLLO
The applicant will work on an important software component of the
GMOD project: Apollo. Apollo allows researchers to explore genomic
annotations at many levels of detail, and to perform expert curation
of the genome, all within a graphical environment. Our role is to
support the global users of Apollo and to extend its capabilities in
numerous ways. The Apollo project is a joint collaboration between
LBNL and the Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR), located at
Stanford. [ see http://berkeleybop.org/content/jobs/Apollo.shtml for
