The Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Plant Sciences (IBG-2) within Forschungszentrum Jülich is recruiting 2 data related positions:
-
Research scientist in the field of Data Management/big data/bioinformatics
-
Research scientist in the field of Data Management / big data
The aims of both positions are: (i) to structure and standardize existing data to enable interoperability; (ii) to prepare metadata in accordance with the FAIR principles; and (iii) to develop software that is capable of handling large volumes of scientific data, adapting itself to evolving data models, and enabling useful access in the form of a standard application programming interface (API) and a graphical user interface (GUI). Furthermore, a key function of the position is to develop and define data models, which will be aggregated in ontologies. With the aid of automatic code generators, the aforementioned standard API and GUI should then be automatically generated for such a set of data models. Data storage must be capable of integrating various technologies and supporting distribution.
