More about EMBL-EBI

EMBL-EBI is a world-leader in archiving and disseminating 3D biomacromolecular and cellular structure data. The EMDB (ebi.ac.uk/emdb) and EMPIAR (ebi.ac.uk/empiar) teams play a key role in the dissemination of 3DEM data through the open-access public archiving. The EMDB and EMPIAR are situated at EMBL-EBI, Hinxton, UK alongside many other scientific services including the BioImage Archive, PDBe, PDB-KB and UniProt. The EMDB is a member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank organisation (wwPDB; wwpdb.org), which closely aligns the EMDB with other wwPDB partners PDBe, RCSB PDB, PDBj and BMRB, who coordinate a worldwide effort in structural biology archiving of 3DEM volumes and associated macromolecular models. EMPIAR is the central archive for raw 3DEM data including from single particle analysis, tomography and volume EM.

The EMDB and EMPIAR develop and provide advanced tools and web-resources for searching, analysing and visualising structural data for the benefit of structural biologists, the wider scientific and M.L. communities. The teams consist of a diverse mix of international and inter-disciplinary professionals including domain experts, software developers, IT specialists and project coordinators.

Your role

As Scientific Database Curator, you will have an important role to play in the evaluation of best practices identified in incoming data and information structures, to feed this understanding back into the archiving process. The work will then also involve analyses and future development of EMDB/EMPIAR technologies, services and their integration with other bioinformatics resources. Database curators also participate in developing training material, delivery of workshops and in community activities. You will therefore help with user-experience (UX) testing, outreach and training.
