About the team/job
EMBL seeks a Biocurator/Bioinformatician in the context of the new transversal research theme Planetary Biology. We aim to understand, from the molecular to the population level, how microbes, plants, and animals respond to each other and to their environment in various habitats. The transversal research theme includes expeditions during which heterogeneous data and metadata are collected. The Planetary Biology flagship project TREC(Traversing European Coastlines) will be the focus of work for the staff member. Under TREC, we are going to sample the coastal land-water interfaces along the European coastlines to study the local and global human footprint on oceans, seas, and estuaries, with regard to urbanisation, agriculture, coastal exploitation, various forms of contamination as well as impacts of climate change.
Your role
The Biocurator/Bioinformatician will provide crucial support for data annotation workflows, in the first instance by creating sampling log sheets and managing the unique identification of samples from the diverse types of sampling activities and protocols, ensuring that samples are tracked in a LIMS system, and furthermore by curating and archiving the provenance metadata, generating additional environmental context, and ensuring that environmental, imaging and omics data are easily linked and shared among partners. The Biocurator/Bioinformatician will work with the Data Coordination teams at both EMBL-EBI (UK) and Heidelberg (Germany) sites to provide support to our broad user base, which comprises researchers within EMBL, the extensive network of collaborators around TREC and the broader scientific community that will benefit from the reuse of Planetary Biology data. EMBL's established data resources and services will provide the foundations for the preservation and presentation of TREC data. The staff member will gain substantial knowledge and experience in the global life science data infrastructure and will gain hands-on experience, working on marine projects with major impact in a world-leading scientific institute.
Your tasks include:
Your work will be carried out in close communication with our international base of submitters and project partners. You will be required to take an active part in the development and delivery of data coordination services, attending and presenting at internal and international meetings.
