Job description
Description: We are looking for two candidates with a BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics or equivalent with software development skills. The candidate will be involved in European and National projects related to cloud and open data technologies, being part of a team in charge of developing data management software for Instruct facilities.
Thus, the candidate will participate in projects that will shape and influence strategies for making research data generated across the Instruct-ERIC infrastructure FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). This data transformation will involve considerations of the storage, metadata description and deposition of large datasets for use and reuse including artificial intelligence. These data will come primarily from structural biology but can include data from other diverse research domains.
Background: INSTRUCT ERIC is the European Strategic Initiative in the area of Integrative Structural Biology. It is organized as a distributed infrastructure with "Instruct Centers" and the BCU hosts the "INSTRUCT Image Processing Center (I2PC)". BCU is well known in the area of 3D-EM, with over 200 publications in the area of Electron Microscopy and large contributions to open source scientific software, like Scipion, Xmipp and 3DBionotes.
