    The EBI is Europe's leading provider of information services to biological researchers in academia and industry. An integral part of this service is the archiving of nucleotide sequences into the European Nucleotide Archive. This service was pioneered by the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database (EMBL-Bank) that has grown to contain more than 215 billion sequenced bases in early 2008.

    We are currently looking to recruit a highly motivated PERL developer into the EMBL-Bank team. The successful candidate is expected to maintain and refactor the existing pipelines for data loading and distribution in order to cope with developments in the data and increases in data volume. In addition to these core activities, (s)he will also have opportunities to interact with other projects and technologies.

    The ideal applicant should hold a university degree in bioinformatics or computer sciences (with good knowledge of molecular biology) and have several years programming experience in a production environment. A strong command of Perl is required; previous experience with biological databases and experience with Java would be an advantage. Excellent communication, interpersonal and English skills are essential.

    An initial contract of 3 years will be offered to the successful candidate. This can be renewed, depending on circumstances at the time of review.

    EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation.

    To apply, please email a cover letter, CV (in English) and contact information of three professional references quoting ref. no. BIO/08/047/EBI in the subject line, to: applications[at]ebi.ac.uk.
