Who are Scimcon?
Scimcon's objectives are simple; we help scientists perform science.
What does this mean?
We are highly experienced consultants that run projects to implement
the tools and systems that store and track the data that is vital in
supporting science. This allows the scientist to concentrate on their
experiments and analysis rather than collating, transcribing,
managing, and searching for data.
We work in multiple scientific fields, from the chemistry of materials
science to biologics drug discovery. Our consultants have a vast
range of skills and experience that combines both science and
technology.
Scimcon is a privately owned company having been established over 20
years ago. Currently at 25 consultants we are planning to grow
significantly with a desire to develop the next generation of world class
laboratory informatics consultants. This has resulted in Scimcon creating
its first Graduate Consultant Programme.
Scimcon is now recruiting candidates to join this programme.
