Are you an aspiring science communicator who has a wonderful way with words? The Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; http://pdbe.org/) is looking for an enthusiastic 'jack of all trades', to coordinate its outreach activities. We are looking for someone who will raise the profile of PDBe through media outreach and user training. This job provides an exciting opportunity for you to have a real impact on the scientific community by helping biologists make the most of structural information. The main responsibilities include:
* Developing and implementing an effective outreach strategy, which may involve new activities (e.g. short video tutorials);
* Organising and running training 'roadshows', workshops and courses;
* Producing tutorials and course materials;
* Coordinating our presence at professional conferences;
* Drafting scientific reports, blog entries, news items, posters, slide presentations and promotional materials;
* Maintaining and maximising the impact of our presence in social media;
* Operating the PDBe help desk;
* Soliciting, handling and analysing user feedback;
* Coordinating our activities with the EMBL-EBI Outreach and Training Team;
* In the interests of remaining grounded in the resource, annotate structure entries (~25% of the time, this only applies if you have a background in chemistry or biology).
For full details about this position, surf to:

When you apply through the EMBL website, you have to submit examples of three different kinds of communications materials that you have personally produced (they need not have been published). This could include a scientific paper, popular article, blog entry, poster, short video, brochure, press release, conference booth or anything along those lines. Please provide the materials either as attachments or as URLs. We expect your cover letter to demonstrate your enthusiasm for this position as well as your excellent writing skills. If you are shortlisted for an interview, you will be asked to provide additional materials.
Please note that knowledge of (structural) biology is desirable but not necessary. However, superb communication skills and a keen eye for layout and design are required.
