Scientific Curator

MDIBL invites applications for a full-time Scientific Curator to work on the NIH-funded, publicly available Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD; http://ctd.mdibl.org). CTD supports cross-species comparative studies of toxicologically important genes and proteins. The successful candidate will be responsible for curating gene-chemical interaction data from the biomedical literature and working with a team of biologists and software developers to develop biological ontologies, determine data curation requirements, and design user interfaces. Applicants with strong backgrounds in molecular biology and toxicology are preferred. This is not an independent research or computer science position. Candidates must have strong communication and writing skills, be highly organized and self-motivated, and work effectively in a team environment. A PhD degree in Life Sciences or an MS with appropriate experience is required.
