What is structural bioinformatics?

A Structural Bioinformatics job involves applying computational techniques to analyze and predict the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, DNA, and RNA. Professionals in this field develop algorithms, use molecular modeling software, and analyze structural data from experiments like X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. Their work helps in drug discovery, protein engineering, and understanding biomolecular functions. Structural bioinformaticians often collaborate with biologists, chemists, and data scientists to interpret structural data and derive meaningful biological insights.

What does a structural bioinformatics professional do?

As a Structural Bioinformatics professional, your daily responsibilities often include analyzing protein or nucleic acid structures, developing computational models, and interpreting experimental data in collaboration with laboratory scientists. You may regularly use molecular modeling tools and scripting languages to visualize, predict, or simulate biomolecular interactions. Additionally, you’ll participate in research meetings, contribute to scholarly publications, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, such as computational chemists, biologists, or pharmaceutical researchers. The role offers a dynamic blend of independent analytical work and team-based problem solving, making it ideal for those who enjoy both technical challenges and collaborative research environments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for structural bioinformatics?

To thrive in Structural Bioinformatics, candidates typically need a solid background in molecular biology, computational modeling, and advanced data analysis, often supported by a degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as PyMOL, Chimera, molecular dynamics software, and scripting languages like Python or R is highly beneficial. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and collaborative communication skills help professionals stand out in multidisciplinary research and development teams. These capabilities are crucial for accurately modeling biomolecular structures, interpreting complex datasets, and driving innovative discoveries in areas like drug design and protein engineering.

Research Assistant - Structural Bioinformatics

Astera

Emeryville, CA • On-site

$75K - $100K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 12 days ago

Job description

About Astera:
Astera is a private foundation on a mission to steer science and technology toward an abundant future. We believe the coming years will bring an era of unprecedented scientific and technological advancement as exponential progress in AI converges with central advances in other fields to dramatically accelerate innovation. This inflection point provides an unparalleled opportunity to fundamentally rethink the institutions, systems, and tools that drive scientific progress.
Unlike traditional non-profit research organizations, projects supported by Astera operate like high-velocity startups, allowing us to focus on ambitious goals, match structure to problem, and attract strong technical talent and leadership. You can read more about our mission, vision, and programming here.
About the Role:
The diffUSE Project at Astera Institute/Radial is building open infrastructure for dynamic structural biology, making protein conformational and ensemble data findable, validated, and reusable at scale. The Research Assistant will support this mission by maintaining data pipelines, curating structural datasets, and running validation checks across X-ray, cryo-EM, and ensemble-derived data, working closely with Scientists and software engineers on day-to-day technical execution. This is a full-time, in-person role suited to someone early in their research career who wants hands-on exposure to structural biology data infrastructure in a fast-moving, multidisciplinary environment. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by the goal of making scientific data more open and reusable.
Key Responsibilities
  • Maintain and run bioinformatic pipelines for structural data processing, curation, and quality control.
  • Support development and benchmarking of validation metrics against experimental datasets.
  • Assist with data deposition, formatting, and documentation to meet community data standards.
  • Help prepare datasets, figures, and summaries for publications, reports, and presentations.
  • Coordinate with Scientists and engineers on routine data management tasks and troubleshooting.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • BS or MS in bioinformatics, structural biology, computational biology, or a related field.
  • Working proficiency in Python and familiarity with structural file formats (PDB, mmCIF, mtz).
  • Strong organizational skills and close attention to detail in data handling.
  • Comfortable working across computational and experimental teams in a research setting.
  • Preferred: exposure to crystallography or cryo-EM data processing; familiarity with PDB, EMDB, or related databases.

Compensation
Commensurate with experience.
