What You Will Do

We are looking for a summer intern to join the Computational Chemistry team in summer 2027. Computational chemistry is a key part of our drug discovery engine, helping move programs from target inception to drug development. You will build and deploy tools that support the discovery of small molecule therapeutics.

In this role, you will:

• Develop and implement computational chemistry methods to calculate DFT energies and molecular descriptors.
• Use these descriptors to train and evaluate AI/ML models that support the Design-Make-Test-Analyze cycle for next-generation therapeutic molecules.
• Work with interdisciplinary teams to carry out and implement the project.
• Review and summarize project-related literature.
• Communicate findings and progress to team members.
• Document methods and analyses clearly so research can be reproduced.
