    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
