for five years.

Job description:
As a (chem-) informatician, you will be joining our research group Bioinformatics and Scientific Data. Apart from successful research on Computational Metabolomics, we as work package leads in NFDI4Chem take care that research data ("the gold of the 21st century") is collected, structured and published for efficient re-use. You will develop comprehensive universal workflows for processing mass spectrometry data from the instrument towards an electronic laboratory book and chemistry data repository.

You should have a degree in computer science, chemistry informatics, bioinformatics or a related discipline with very good knowledge of databases, working with and developing for chemistry software (e.g. RDKit, CDK, OpenBabel) in common programming languages (e.g. Java, Python, R, C++).
