The RCSB Protein Data Bank (http://www.pdb.org) is a publicly  
accessible information portal for researchers and educators and  
students interested in structural biology. At its center is the PDB  
archive – the sole international repository for the 3-dimensional  
structure data of biological macromolecules solved by various methods  
including X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance and  
electron microscopy. These structures hold significant promise for  
the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in the search for new  
drugs and in efforts to understand the mysteries of human disease.

The primary mission of the RCSB PDB is to provide accurate, well- 
annotated data in the most timely and efficient way to facilitate new  
discoveries and scientific advances. The RCSB PDB processes, stores,  
and disseminates these important data, and develops the software  
tools needed to assist users in depositing and accessing structural  
information.

The RCSB Protein Data Bank at Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ  
has an opening for a Biochemical Information & Annotation Specialist  
for cryo-EM to curate and standardize macromolecular structures  
solved by cryo-electron microscopy. The successful candidate will  
process and annotate depositions solved by electron microscopy,  
communicate with members of the deposition community and release, and  
update entries in the PDB archive. The annotation will be performed  
using various tools and resources on a linux platform.

The candidate must have a strong background in electron microscopy  
with clear understanding of the structure determination process and  
results (EM maps, 3D reconstructions). They should also have a good  
knowledge of biological chemistry, molecular and cellular biology  
(PhD, MS). Experience with working on a linux platform and using  
other biological databases is an advantage, but not required. The  
successful candidate should be self-motivated, pay close attention to  
detail, possess strong written and oral communication skills, and  
meet deadlines.

This position offers the opportunity to participate in an exciting  
project with significant impact on the scientific community.

Please send resume (pdf preferred) to Dr. Helen M. Berman at
