Job Description:
FlyBase (http://flybase.org/) seeks a research assistant/associate to join our group at the University of Cambridge, UK. This is a fly-related post away from the bench, assisting Drosophila research by contributing to the FlyBase database of genetic and genomic data. If you have been frustrated by the lack of simple summaries of fly gene function in the FlyBase gene reports, here is your opportunity to fix that, by soliciting, editing and writing such summaries.
The primary aim of FlyBase-Cambridge is to identify biological data from scientific articles concerning Drosophila and to record these data in a systematic manner. Curated data are subsequently integrated into the FlyBase database and website to aid the international research community. The successful applicant will contribute to this effort by editing and writing short gene function summaries and also making sure these functions are represented with the standardized terms of Gene Ontology annotation (geneontology.org). Liaison with other members of the Gene Ontology consortium will ensure accurate and up to date annotations.
Depending on their previous experience, the successful applicant may also highlight sets of genes involved in a pathway or function, or liaise with the Drosophila research community and FlyBase's software developers to improve the display and searching of Gene Function and Gene Ontology annotations in FlyBase.
Essential skills/experience includes:
- a biological sciences degree
- research experience using Drosophila
- excellent written English
- strong self-motivation and ability to work as part of a team
Useful skills/experience includes:
- familiarity with databases
- programming
- knowledge of biomedical ontologies
- annotation/curation experience
Limited funding: The funds for this post are available for 18 months in the first instance.
Closing date: 31 January 2015
Interviews are anticipated to occur the week of 16 February 2015.

Please upload a covering letter explaining your suitability for the role and a CV.
