Hi, are you looking for Data Scientist 3 – Mid-Career Cheminformatics Professional jobs in Richland, WA 99354 ?
we got a perfect job opening for you !
Company name : Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Location : Richland, WA 99354
Position : Data Scientist 3 – Mid-Career Cheminformatics Professional
Description :
Overview:
The Chemical and Biological Signatures Group (CBS) is an interdisciplinary group of approximately 50 biologists, chemists, and engineers that solve research and development problems related to chemical and biological detection and forensics. Much of the work involves trace detection in complex samples including environmental, food, or biological samples, and is directed toward national security missions to prevent and counter acts of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Key challenges include: identifying the appropriate signatures, sample collection/preservation and preparation, development of detection and analysis technologies, and development of approaches and analytical methods for high confidence measurements. CBS is seeking a computationally oriented chemist/cheminformatics scientist with an interest in leading multidisciplinary teams and solving real-world problems in cheminformatics. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated, capable researcher with significant hands-on experience focused broadly on the identification and characterization of chemical signatures that are of concern to national security sponsors, including metabolomic signatures. They will be expected to publish papers/reports; to develop relationships with national security sponsors that will lead to longer term opportunities for leadership and personal growth; and to interact with internal and external stakeholders to grow PNNL’s capabilities.
