    BACKGROUND

    The Vanderbilt Center for Stem Cell Biology is home for the Coordinating Center for the Beta Cell Biology Consortium (BCBC). This is a major team science initiative established by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to facilitate interdisciplinary approaches to advance our understanding of pancreatic islet development and function with the long-term goal of developing a stem cell-based therapy for Type 1 Diabetes.
    Over the past few years the informatics in the BCBC Coordinating Center has developed a multipurpose website, betacell.org, now, serving as a platform for the efficient distribution of high quality and reliable information to hundreds of investigators and their staff.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    This position will provide support for users of the BCBC website and its related databases. The core responsibilities of the position include triage and escalation of issues, documentation and training, unit and usability testing, scientific data curation and content development.
