-FlyBase seeks a full-time scientific curator/annotator to join our team at the Gelbart Lab in the Department for Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard. Curational responsibilities at the Harvard site include the scanning and abstracting of scientific literature on the molecular biology of Drosophila, annotation and analysis of Drosophila genome(s), coordination of the inclusion of high-throughput molecular data sets into FlyBase, and design of improved interfaces for providing molecular data to users. Curators work as a part of a team, interacting with biologists at other FlyBase sites, and coordinating with software engineers to develop and improve software. Curators also interface with the scientific community, assisting users on line and at research conference workshops. FlyBase is constantly evolving, seeking both to improve and to expand its role within the Drosophila and wider scientific communities. This position is grant-funded.

The successful applicant will contribute to this effort in one or more ways, depending on their expertise. Possible roles include: rapid reading of Drosophila review articles to record genes mentioned therein; recording information about Drosophila models of human disease; focused analysis and annotation of sets of related genes: or contributing to revisions of existing data in the database.
-Essential skills/experience include:
-* a biological sciences degree
-* research experience using Drosophila
-* strong organizational skills and the ability to work with attention to detail
-* good communication skills
-* excellent English
-* strong self-motivation as well as the ability to work in a team
