THE ORGANISATION
The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) is an independent think tank, established to put social justice at the heart of British politics.

This enables the CSJ to find and promote evidence-based, experience-led solutions to change lives and transform communities. The CSJ believes that the surest way to reverse social breakdown – and the poverty it creates – is to build resilience within individuals, families and the innovative organisations able to help them.

Kew Royal Botanic Gardens
Kew Gardens, Richmond, UK
Lead Database Developer
£37,177 - £44,296 per annum depending on skills and experience + £4000 market supplement (subject to annual review)
Full time
Fixed Term (FTA) 3 years
Kew Gardens, Richmond
RBG Kew is seeking a lead database/software developer to build an infrastructure to store molecular information from our collections.
Kew’s collections – including our living collection, our herbarium and fungarium, and the Millennium Seed Bank - encompass over 8 million highly diverse specimens, and are increasingly being characterized using molecular technologies, such as genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic characterization.
The post holder will develop a relational database to store this information, and tools for data entry, validation, and access. In effect, this database will become a new, digital collection for biodiversity research, complementing the physical specimens from which it has been derived.
More details
Kew is the world’s leading botanic gardens, at the forefront of plant and fungal science, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major visitor attraction.
We want a world where plants and fungi are understood, valued and conserved – because our lives depend on them.
We use the power of our science and the rich diversity of our gardens and collections to provide knowledge, inspiration and understanding of why plants and fungi matter to everyone.
Characterization of Kew’s extensive collections using “omics” technologies is accelerating, through a wide portfolio of projects each with a different scientific or technological focus. This role is to develop a common database infrastructure, so that the outputs of each project can be stored and linked to the material from which they have been derived. This database will play a critical role in future analysis of our specimens – a molecular reference to supplement the physical material. The post holder will need to design a relational database, and build tools for the ingress and egress of data; but also, work with our scientists to populate the resource with the outputs of their work.
It is an exciting role, with the opportunity to build an essential component of the infrastructure that will support Kew’s science over the next decade, and help us catalogue and understand the diversity of plant and fungal life.
The successful candidate will have a degree in biological or computational sciences, and extensive experience in design and use of relational databases. Expertise is expected in least one modern computer programming language (e.g. Python, Perl, Java). A background in biology or bioinformatics is not essential, but experience in handling omics data, and an understanding of the research questions it is generated to address, will be highly advantageous, as will experience of open-source or commercial software development. Experience of agile development methodologies, web services, and web applications will all be advantageous.
We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a broad range of Learning and Development opportunities, with access to the Civil Service training curriculum, generous annual leave entitlement for new starters, family friendly policies, a choice of competitive pensions and flexible benefits scheme.
If you are interested in this position, please visit our website for more information and to apply.
