The Open Microscopy Environment (OME) is seeking a Bio-Curator for the submission pipeline of the Image Data Resource (IDR). The IDR is a collection of more than a million bio-imaging experiments that have been enriched with common bio-molecular annotations to enable discovery and further analysis. The production IDR is at https://idr.openmicroscopy.org and a paper on IDR is at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5536224/. We work hard, have a great time, and deliver unique, world-leading applications that are changing the way bioscience works. Everything we do is open-source; our tools are playing a vital role in supporting the move towards open-data and open-science. We aim to change the way the scientific world publishes data--and we need your help! We value collaboration, and thrive on creativity and well-designed code. We passionately follow open source development and licensing and use a Kanban-style work pattern to deliver the goods. For more information, see https://openmicroscopy.org. Technical skills are important, but a willingness to take the initiative to research and suggest new tools is critical- we’ll give you the time and support to learn and extend your skills.
