I have no objections to posting targeted and directly relevant
academic jobs adverts here - in fact I rather like it.  I would point
out the job advert text itself doesn't actually mention Biopython -
perhaps you can get HR to amend the copy linked to from the University
job page updated to mention experience of Biopython, BioPerl or BioSQL
being desirable?

P.S. Could you add links to Biopython, BioPerl and BioSQL to the xBase
website, maybe on the about page? http://xbase.bham.ac.uk/about.pl

P.P.S. Did you have a chance to try out the patch on Bug 2738 for
speeding up loading GenBank files into BioSQL?

Cheers!
