The aim of the project is to assist in creating a unified data resource for spectral Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and structural Protein Data Bank (PDB) data, with enhanced deposition, visualisation and validation tools. The post holder's task will involve working within the Collaborative Computing Project for the NMR community (CCPN) data model framework, the Autodep deposition system and the AstexViewer visualisation tool. Other responsibilities include continuous interaction with the BioMagResBank (BMRB) for data exchange and with the CCPN project for the data storage, as well as in-house analysis of the NMR data.
