                   Programming Posts in the EMBL Data Library


The EMBL Data  Library,  in  collaboration  with  the  American  GenBank  group,
produces  databases  of nucleotide and protein sequence data abstracted from the
research and patent literature and provided directly by researchers.   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.    Write  briefly  for  an
