What you should have:

• B.Sc. in a life science and 5+ years of experience with drug discovery informatics data in some fashion
• Extensive experience in the small molecule drug discovery process, ideally from a data-centric software perspective, or experience in developing cheminformatics-based drug discovery software
• A collaborative spirit and interest in continuing to evolve the field of integrative technologies supporting the drug discovery process
• An understanding of data structure used in drug discovery (for example assay and modeling data)
