Summary: Find a unique niche that splits the middle between biodiversity scientists working to share knowledge about the biological world and a development team with a strong focus on agile development to bring that knowledge to the web in new ways. We are a collaborative team of programmers, informaticians and domain scientists in the realm of biodiversity and conservation working together on a National Science Foundation funded project called Biological Science Collections Tracker (BiSciCol - pronounded “bicycle”; more about us here: http://biscicol.blogspot.com/). The goal of BiSciCol is to use semantic web approaches to develop an infrastructure for tagging and tracking scientific collections and all of their derivatives. In order for BiSciCol to fulfill its mission, scientific collections data and downstream data products such as sequences, genomes, images, etc. need to be brought into a semantic web framework, which presents a set of technological and social challenges. The BiSciCol project is recruiting a semantic web and database developer with working knowledge of global unique identifiers, and their implementation within and across databases and data aggregators.
