The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has a vacancy for a fixed term 15 month E.U.-funded post responsible for coordinating and undertaking testing of key software components of Work Package 5 (Platform for Cyber-taxonomy) of the EDIT project. 

 

The successful candidate will be required to plan and undertake the software testing program including the identification of bugs and the assessment of functional completeness and usability.

A thorough knowledge of taxonomic working practises and practical experience of taxonomic work is however essential, candidates must therefore have a post graduate degree in taxonomy coupled with relevant work experience. The post will involve a considerable element of coordination between testing partners and interaction with the partners responsible for software development, experience of team working and evidence of good communication skills will therefore be desirable.
