Biodiversity Informatics, within which the position is situated, develops research data infrastructures for LIB. Research data infrastructures primarily comprise all data from the collections and related research. This also includes data from genome research and biodiversity monitoring. Major goal of biodiversity informatics at LIB is the development of new tools, based on semantic web technologies, for the management of research data, e.g. to facilitate AI-based annotation and discovery of the data. The infrastructure makes the data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), scales with Big Data.
The main tasks of the biodiversity informatics scientist will be to advance the digitization of the natural history collections, contribute to the further development, expansion and usability of LIB's Digital Collection Catalogue (see e.g. https://collections.zfmk.de) in a national and international network of natural history collections, and to train scientists in digitization and management of specimen information. Research activities follow the goals of biodiversity informatics at LIB and promote new ideas for biodiversity informatics on a national and international level.
Your work tasks include
- support in the digitization of collections (data acquisition, data transfers between databases) according to the digitization strategy at LIB (https://doi.org/10.20363/ZFMK-APP.DigitizationStrategy_V_1),
- development and improvement of tools for collection-based research data acquisition, management, and dissemination based on the FAIR principles,
- monitoring of data flows, consistency check of data packages, and troubleshooting,
- training in the use of the databases, consultation of custodians and technical staff,
