Texto de la oferta:
We aim to design the next generation of computational tools to study, at an atomic detail, protein-ligand interaction mechanisms. We ned to design an interactive graphical utility where human and computer power will combine to achieve a faster and more eficient conformational space search.

The graphical utility will be combined with the PeLE++ bioPhysical modeling software.

Providing state of the art visualization capabilities along with fast bioPhysics calculations will ofer a completely new experience to the drug design scientific community.

Nowadays, with the advances in molecular target therapies, it is essential to elucidate the atomic mechanism for drug delivery and binding. For example, understanding the role of point mutations, as a result of cancers high metabolic activity, personalized medicine, etc. will become essential for drug design. Parallel to this increasing ned, software and hardware development have made posible to accurately model bioPhysical events at atomic resolution. Today, random walk algorithms such as PeLE++ allow the description of ligand migration and binding within few CPU hours. These techniques, however, are based on trial and error queuing jobs, with hours of delay betwen human decisions.
We envisión a next generation of software tools combining human and computer power, and using interactive techniques and sophisticated graphics. Imagine a team of scientists visualizing and controlling, in real time, the evolution of a simulation, testing chemical modifications on the fly, etc.

To this end, we will combine the state of the art in computational bioPhysics and visualization. In order to adapt the final product to the real neds of the scientific community, the project includes the advise from a leading pharmaceutical company.

Main Responsibilities:
-Design the interaction and user experience of PeLE++
-Design and help implement the user interfaz on mobile and desktop platforms, and possibly on custom made hardware
-Work closely with the software developers and the MOVING research group at UPC.

Design the data visualization and collaborate in the implementation of its real-time rendering.

Required Skill Specifications.

Knowledge and experience in human interfaz design
-Programming experience in WebGL, Chrome, Javascript, and HTML5.

Knowledge of graphic design, specially applied to user experience and interaction.

Desired Qualifications Experience.

Programming experience (preferably C++ or Java and Python or equivalent scripting language)
-Experience in GUIs using OpenGL for PCs and the iOS and/or Android APIs
-Command of design software (Photoshop, Illustrator, and a los Maya and Blender)
-Experience with stereoscopic technology and 3D caves
-Experience with iOS, Android, and Kinect APIs.

The position will be located at BSC within the CASE department in collaboration with the specific program coordinator.

Y supongo que, saber inglés también es necesario.

Típica oferta de dos por uno, programador y grafista, cuando se darán cuenta que sale mejor un grafista y un programador por separado, y además tienes que ser el crak en gráficos, y no solo una disciplina, a controlar todas.2d 3d, no ponen video porque no se les ocurrió.

Me molaría saber el sueldo, me juego lo que sea qué no llega a los 24k. Saludos.
