The RCSB Protein Data Bank (www.rcsb.org) is a publicly accessible information portal for
researchers 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. 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 possible 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 to curate and standardize macromolecular structures
for distribution in the PDB archive. Annotation Specialists validate, annotate, and release
structural entries in PDB archive. Annotation Specialists also communicate daily with members of the
deposition community. The position is an academic position with state benefit. The salary is
compatible with faculty level.
A background in macromolecular crystallography or small molecule crystallography is a strong
advantage. Biological chemistry background (PhD, MS) is required. Experience with Linux computer
systems and biological databases is preferred. The successful candidate should be self-motivated,
pay close attention to details, 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. Jasmine Young at
