Descripción de la oferta
The CNIO Experimental Therapeutics Programme (ETP) is a group constituted by biologists and medicinal-chemists dedicated to the discovery and development of new antitumoral drugs. We account with a very professional computational chemistry platform. As well, we have developed an infrastructure constituted by enabling technologies and chemical-biology databases to manage and store safely the data generated within our research projects. We are currently seeking a candidate with expertise in the fields of computational chemistry / chemoinformatics and/or laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to be responsible for the scientific and technical management and administration of such platform and infrastructure. The selected candidate will perform a diverse number of activities working in this environment. 1. She/he will carry out chemoinformatic analyses and data mining processes of chemical libraries and chemical-biology databases and computational related approaches for application in drug discovery, being responsible of virtual screening campaigns and molecular docking activities. 2. The candidate will be responsible for the maintenance of ISIS-BASE chemical databases and e-labnotebooks. 3. She/he will supervise the registration of newly synthesized/acquired small molecules in our Programme database. 4. She/he will be in charge for preparation of screening plates in our HTS platform, including programming of robotic systems and uploading of the generated information in ETP-database. 5. The candidate will help to setting up new assay protocols using informatics tools such as Pipeline Pilot (PLP) and will be responsible for uploading screening chemical-biological data in the internal database. 6. She/he will be responsible for the accuracy of data storage and tracking. Overall, the candidate will be responsible for the management and administration of all the informatics related topics within the ETP drug discovery platform.
