We are seeking an enthusiastic Bioinformatics Database Engineer to work on PHI-base, a resource allowing researchers without specialist bioinformatics skills to understand how fungal, bacteria and protist pathogens cause disease in plants, animals and humans. PHI-base containing data from over 200 pathogenic species. The successful candidate will develop the existing scheme to support new data types and work on a new curation tool called PHI-CANTO, that will permit researchers to enter the data from their own research publication into PHI-base in a guided and controlled way. [More]
