[3DEM] Computer System Manager position

[Jenny Hinshaw]

Computer System Manager Position Available

Computer System Administrator and Computer Programmer 
Dr. Jenny Hinshaw, LCBB, NIDDK, NIH, Bethesda MD 20892

A computer administrator position is available in 
Dr. Jenny Hinshaw's laboratory beginning March 
2006.  Requirements for this position include 
experience with Linux and SGI machines, 
programming skills in C/C++, JAVA, Python, PERL, 
FORTRAN, and UNIX/Linux Shell Scripting. A major 
focus of our research is calculating 3 
dimensional structures of proteins involved in 
endocytosis and membrane remodeling events. We 
currently have solved the structure of a dynamin 
mutant in the constricted and non-constricted 
states to a resolution of 20 Å.  This work 
entails numerous computational and 3D imaging 
programs.  We currently have three Linux and one 
SGI machines in the laboratory dedicated to 
processing and imaging data.

The position involves: 
1. Image processing helical tubes using helical 
reconstruction methods.  Assist in writing shell 
scripts for image processing, debugging any 
existing shell scripts, and implement additional 
images processing programs.  
2. Implementing a database for storing 3D image 
processing data and automate segments of 
cryo-electron microscopy and image processing. 
3. System management for the 1 SGI machine, 3 
Linux machines and 2 associated Apple computers, 
including upgrading the machines with available 
patches and current operating systems, and 
eliminating any security problems. 
4. Install and maintain 3D imaging programs such 
as 'O', IMOD, Amira and Ribbons.
5. Conduct full backups on a monthly basis and 
incremental backups on a weekly basis.  
6. Maintain computer hardware and software. 
7. Provide technical assistance to laboratory personnel.
