Dear Researchers, Breeders, Database Providers, Funders, Editors, Students, Software Engineers, and other Scientists,
Do you want easy access to better quality data? We are THRILLED to announce that AgBioData (https://www.agbiodata.org/) has received a three-year NSF RCN award to expand our community committed to improving quality and access to agricultural data. New activities will include organizing workshops, establishing new working groups, and developing FAIR curriculum for scientists. We are expanding the consortium and welcome new members, especially students, post-docs, big-data scientists, funding agency scientists, and members of the scientific publishing community interested in solving common FAIR data issues.
We invite all of you to an important kickoff All-Hands Meeting on Sept 1st at 10 am PDT (find your local time - https://bit.ly/389VeJA). At this meeting, you will hear about our RCN objectives, the benefits of joining AgBioData, and how YOU can make a difference in the biological data environment for years to come.
Please pre-register for this meeting at:
https://iastate.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcld-iqqD4vE9awJKcFGnmHwxtCNc_a7U…
We are also hiring a scientist to coordinate AgBioData activities, outreach and curriculum development. Please help us publicize this opportunity! Applications should be submitted by August 31 to https://phoenix-bioinformatics.hirehive.com/job/83452/scientific-program-co….
Thank you!

Hello,
A full time 3-year term Scientific Program Coordinator position for AgBioData Consortium is available.
Scientific Program Coordinator
Phoenix Bioinformatics and The AgBioData Consortium are seeking a Program Coordinator to support the activities of a recently funded three year NSF Research Coordination Network award (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2126334&HistoricalAwards=f…<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID…>). The AgBioData RCN aims to accelerate research in agricultural science by increasing the accessibility and reuse of large- scale biological data. We will do this by creating a network of Genomic, Genetic and Breeding Databases, researchers, scholarly publishers, and funders to advance data capture, findability, access, interoperability, reusability, and sustainability. This is a unique opportunity for an individual seeking to advance into a variety of careers away from the bench such as teaching at primarily undergraduate institutions, biocuration, database project management or scholarly publishing.
The Program Coordinator will support the activities of the RCN and work collaboratively with the Steering Committee to ensure the timely completion of the RCN objectives.
The position reports to the AgBioData Steering Committee and the coordinator will be part of a diverse and skilled professional team at Phoenix Bioinformatics. This position is a full time, remote working position with collaborators across multiple US time zones so hours can be flexible.
