The data are currently being installed in an ORACLE based system running under VMS on a VAX cluster comprising a VAX 8600 and a VAX 11/785. The data are distributed throughout the world, reaching a user community of some 10000 researchers in molecular biology. Planned developments in the services offered, particularly in the area of network access to the data, have created a need for Experienced Applications Programmers, probably graduates, with a thorough understanding of modern programming practice. Applications Programmer (Data Management) Reference: 87/36 o to work on the development of ORACLE-based data-management systems and the transfer of existing data collections to these systems; o develop data entry and update software for use in-house and perhaps at other sites; o explore the requirements for, and participate in the development of better data representation schemes; o participate in the development of online retrieval systems to be made available via computer networks throughout Europe; o help with the development of systems to relate our databases to other collections throughout the world. Applications Programmer (The User View) Reference: 87/37 o to explore the needs of the world-wide user community; o develop ways of making the data more readily available to users in widely differing computing environments, ranging from large mainframe to PC users; o work with new distribution media (e.g., CD-ROM); o participate in the development of online retrieval systems to be made available via computer networks throughout Europe; o help with the transfer of some imported PC based software to our VAX cluster. The EMBL Data Library is a group within the BioComputing Programme of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, an international research institute located in Heidelberg, West Germany. It provides a stimulating research environment, and computing resources comprising a VAX cluster, SUN workstations, a network of Macintosh personal computers, and various powerful graphics devices including an Evans and Sutherland PS350 vector graphics display, all connected by Ethernet. Connections to EARN/BITNET and DATEX-P allow world-wide electronic communication. We offer an above-average salary plus family, children's and non-resident allowances, depending on personal circumstances.
