BACKGROUND

I'm working with a clinical-stage BioPharma based in Cambridge who are developing a novel class of medicines for diseases that are underserved by existing therapeutics. They are a rapidly growing organisation with a solid pipeline of clinical projects, with UK and US offices.

This particular role is ideal for a highly skilled informatician and data manager with experience in Electronic Laboratory Notebook Systems (ideally Dotmatics) who wants to work in an environment supporting both UK and US teams, interacting with an established and expanding drug discovery team working across a variety of disease areas.

The successful candidate will enjoy a varied and rewarding role overseeing and optimizing data capture, processing and management of both biological and chemical data via ELN's and other systems. The successful candidate will also be expected to help develop and optimise the organisation's other informatics systems as well as integrating automation and optimising work and data flow.

This is an ideal role for a highly motivated, self-starting and ambitious candidate with a good working knowledge of informatics and data management. The role involves a high degree of hands on database customisation and the candidate must be able to perform consistently at the highest level. Recent practical experience in and detailed technical knowledge of ELNs, or Dotmatics in particular, is essential as well as a demonstrable working knowledge of drug discovery and related disciplines e.g. chemistry and biology.
