Responsibilities include (but are not limited to) participation in the management and application development for the TB Structural Genomics Consortium database and website.

The candidate will oversee several projects by other group members as well as manage their own application development.

These projects will involve the development of new algorithms and data mining techniques, the goal of which is to improve the production and crystallization of proteins in the structural genomics pipeline.

Development of prediction algorithms for improved Structural Genomics target selection is also encouraged.

The candidate is expected to have adequate background in bioinformatics and be informed of basic biophysical and biochemical techniques used in any structural biology laboratory. Proficiency in computer programming is preferred (Perl/C++/PHP/MySQL in the Linux environment). The position is available initially for one-year and extensible beyond this period.
