About The Position

This is an opportunity to operate as a full member of our ML and cheminformatics team and to make an impact on our internal ML and physics-based platform which drives our drug-discovery programs. Your work will likely involve developing novel approaches to potency and ADME/PK property prediction, and prototyping integration with state-of-the-art tools for molecular modelling.

Requirements

• A graduate student with a proven track record of developing cheminformatics tools and/or physics methods in contexts relevant to drug discovery.
• Experienced Python programmer with proven ability to navigate and contribute to complex codebases.
• Proficient ML practitioner, familiar with common architectures (understanding their strengths and tradeoffs) and with proven expertise in troubleshooting real-world applications.
• A detail-oriented data scientist skilled in managing diverse data sources.
• Passionate about making a direct impact on drug-discovery programs and interacting with a diverse team of ML practitioners, medicinal chemists and drug-discovery scientists.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with RDKit, Openeye and other cheminformatics libraries is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Lead a novel research project from ideation to conclusion, focused on improving our internal tools for potency and ADME prediction.
• Prototype novel approaches from recent publications.
• Design and execute large-scale experiments to validate promising avenues, using internal and public benchmarks.
• Work closely with our computer-aided drug discovery scientists and medicinal chemists to develop, benchmark, and deploy improvements to our drug discovery platform as it is applied to our internal and partnered drug discovery programs.

Benefits

• The opportunity to work on challenging ML and cheminformatics problems that will directly impact our programs and inform the company’s mission to accelerate drug discovery.
• Dedicated mentorship from a senior researcher on our team who will partner with you, guide your project, and champion your growth.
• A world-class, mission-driven team of good-hearted people across software, machine learning, computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and biology.
