EMBL Data Library/European Bioinformatics Institute
COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST/SOFTWARE ENGINEER
The EMBL Data Library is a group within the European Molecular Biology
Laboratory, an international research institute located in Heidelberg,
Germany. During 1994, the group will be re-located to near Cambridge (UK)
and become the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI).
The Data Library/EBI produces information products for molecular
biologists, such as databases of genetic sequence information, and
distributes them to a world-wide user community. They are used in a
variety of applications in medical research, biotechnology and the Human
Genome Project. Much of the work is carried out in collaboration with
GenBank in the United States, the DNA Database of Japan, and the
University of Geneva.
We are seeking candidates for the following post:
