Expected Dates Start date: The position is expected to start as soon as possible. Duration: This is a one-year term position from the date of hire, with the possibility of extension, contingent upon work performance, business need, and continued funding to support the position. We invite applications for a Research Associate position in SBGrid at Harvard Medical School. This annually appointed academic role advances discovery in structural biology by curating, validating, and benchmarking the software that underpins structure determination. You will collaborate with investigators and SBGrid engineers to design scientifically grounded tests, codify reproducible environments, and drive community standards, leveraging Python and shell scripting to automate builds, packaging, and CI/CD. You will contribute to methods, training, and publications that strengthen computational rigor across cryo-EM, crystallography, NMR, and related modalities. SBGrid is a research software platform and global consortium in Harvard Medical School's Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology. We build, install, and rigorously curate 600+ encapsulated, ready-to-run applications spanning crystallography, cryo-EM, NMR, visualization, computational chemistry, and supporting tools, delivered across on-premises and cloud environments for hundreds of laboratories worldwide. Our Capsule Software Execution Environment (“Capsules”) isolates every application with its exact dependencies, providing zero-configuration, conflict-free execution on 64-bit Linux and Intel/ARM macOS. The collection includes 56,000+ executables, 510,000+ dynamic libraries, and a mix of open-source and academic licenses, with 220+ titles under OSI licenses; our unified licensing streamlines research use. SBGrid releases updates monthly and maintains a modular installation manager that now supports thousands of active installations (3,752 at last count), enabling seamless, secured updates for labs and individual users alike. The platform advances FAIR/FAIR4RS software goals and reproducible research across heterogeneous systems; our BioGrids collection extends these methods beyond structural biology to 700+ computational biology titles.

Through the RACP Foundation, there is financial support to Fellows and trainees pursuing careers in medical research. Over 50 different fellowships, scholarships and grants are available annually, totalling over $2.5 million in funding. All applications across the different award categories will be assessed by review panels comprised of members of the Grants Advisory Committee, representatives from partner organisations, RACP Divisions, Faculties and Chapters, and other invited peer reviewers.

RSTMH Global Research in Progress is an online meeting designed for early-career investigators worldwide to present and discuss their unpublished research with peers and senior experts in tropical medicine and global health. This meeting is free to attend for RSTMH members and Fellows, and just £10 for non-members.

Reviewers have a crucial role in ensuring that the research published in our journals, Transactions and International Heath, is novel, high quality, and accurate. Reviewing for the RSTMH journals allows you to contribute to the advancement of tropical medicine and global health while at the same time learning about the latest developments in the field before everyone else.
