    BACKGROUND

    Kalypsys' informatics group develops software to support drug discovery, including ultra-high-throughput assays, chemistry, biology, and analytical chemistry. We acquire, create and deploy software that enhances scientific quality, throughput, and originality. Meeting these objectives simultaneously is challenging. Our systems must be robust. Software must prevent inaccurate information from being recorded, yet be flexible to support evolving science. Active communication with scientist-users, as well as consistent testing and curation make our objectives attainable. To increase our strength in these areas we are recruiting a support scientist.

    • Help scientists find information and adapt existing tools to new scientific processes
    • Maintain informatics web area with links to common tools, help pages, etc
    • Manage bug and feature requests. Help prioritize requests based on experience helping scientists

    REQUIREMENTS

    • At least a B.S. in biology or chemistry with bench experience. Scientists with more education and experience are encouraged to apply, if they would like to move into informatics.
    • Strong computer skills including experience with Excel, web database applications, and data analysis software
    • Ability to learn quickly and invent solutions or work-arounds, but also to follow instructions precisely when necessary
