| Formal Position Announcement: Project Coordinator: Plant Ontology Project
| |
|
| |
| Position Title: Research Associate / Research Associate (Post Doc)
| |
|
| |
| Position description: The Plant Ontology Consortium is seeking applicants for a full-time position of scientific curator who will coordinate the Consortium’s efforts. The Plant Ontology Consortium is a collaboration among researchers at Oregon State University, Cornell University and New York Botanical Garden. The Consortium also collaborates with the curators of many model organism databases including rice, Arabidopsis, maize, grasses, legumes, Solanaceae, bryophytes and plant phylogenomics. The project aims to develop shared vocabularies on plant anatomy and growth and developmental stages, to describe patterns of phenotype(s) and
| |
| gene expression.

| |
|
| |
| Duties / Responsibilities: Develop and refine the ontologies with the PO curators in participating databases and core labs, annotate gene products and germplasms with the vocabularies in the ontologies, participate in the development and application of methods to streamline and enhance the quality of annotations, manage website content, set project milestones, organize and moderate monthly teleconferences, and work
| |
| with the project members to deliver the database releases and project reports on strict timelines.
| |
|
| |
| Required qualifications: Ph.D. in an aspect of plant biology (e.g. Development, Physiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Plant Pathology, Systematics) and/or genomics, Plant Pathology, Phylogenomics, Systematics, Plant Biology and Plant Anatomy. Available
| |
| immediately to start working on the project. Experience in High Performance Scientific Computing and Network maintenance. Demonstrated ability for independent, critical thinking and excellent communication, networking and teamwork skills. Previous work in any one or more areas of Plant Development, Plant Physiology, Plant Biochemistry, Plant Genetics and/or genomics, Plant Pathology, Museum specimen curation, Phylogenomics, Systematics, Plant Biology and Plant Anatomy. Excellent communication skills in English is a must. Experience in teaching and outreach. Familiarity with Plant Development and Anatomy. Able to travel and attend 3-4 meetings/year of the PO consortium.
| |
|
| |
| In order to be considered for the Research Associate position, the candidate must have 3 or more years of postdoctoral/scientist research experience and supporting
| |
| publications in peer reviewed international journals. The selection committee will judge the candidate based on the qualifications below; in addition, to showing the ability to lead on a scientific project as an independent researcher. Preferred qualifications: A demonstrable commitment to promoting and enhancing diversity. Past experience in project coordination, large scale gene expression and phenotype evaluation, familiarity with basic UNIX commands, spreadsheets, and commonly used biological research tools such as BLAST and Literature Databases searching is desired. A working knowledge of PERL and/or SQL will be considered an
| |
| asset but not required.
