Software Developer (f/m/d)

Aggregator databases such as the European Search Catalogue for Plant Genetic Resources (EURISCO) are cornerstones for making information on plant genetic resources (PGR) available to researchers and breeders. Information that is as comprehensive as possible is the basis for PGR users to select and access the material they need for their scientific and breeding activities. On behalf of the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR), IPK has been operating EURISCO since 2014, which includes both the maintenance and technical development of the information system and the coordination of the network of currently 43 countries on which EURISCO is built. EURISCO presently documents more than two million genebank samples from over 400 collections.
