The successful candidate will work under the direction of the Principal Investigator for this project. Primary duties and responsibilities will include development and implementation of graphical interfaces, user workflow tools, and mechanisms for data tracking and storage. Duties Essential - Primary duties and responsibilities will include development and implementation of computational algorithms for structure determination using X-ray crystallography. Develop graphic interfaces to components of the PHENIX software system. Create interfaces between PHENIX and other software packages such as Coot. Implement software code for capturing and tracking data and other information as it is created by the PHENIX software. This position requires interaction with P.I.s, postdocs, Scientists and external collaborators involved in the PHENIX project. Publication of research results in scientific journals and presentation of results at scientific meetings. Marginal - Actively participate in group meetings. Assume shared responsibility for maintenance of computational equipment with other group members. Qualifications Essential - Ph.D. within the last three years in computational crystallography or a related field. Demonstrated experience with graphical interface development. First-author publications in macromolecular crystallography or closely related field. Familiarity with software development tools such as C++, C or Fortran programming languages and scripting languages such as Python or Perl. Strong programming skills. Solid interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a team environment are critical. Marginal - Experience with the practical aspects of protein crystallography: protein production, crystallization and structure solution. NOTE: This is a one year Term appointment with the possibility of renewal under the same terms and conditions, contingent upon continued funding and availability of work.
