Intern – Scientific Developer Target Exploration

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

This internship will focus on leveraging the information contained in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins to generate insights into the properties of potential drug molecules. OpenEye, Cadence Molecular Sciences (OECMS) Weighted Ensemble Molecular Dynamics (WEMD) simulation software in the Orion cloud platform allows for efficient exploration of protein conformational space, which can be further analyzed to better understand a protein’s structure and dynamics and discover cryptic pockets. You will be tasked with building on these tools, with the goal of translating the information contained in the simulations to better understand the properties of molecules which bind to predicted pockets on the protein’s surface. Candidates should expect to gain experience in a professional scientific software development environment, be willing and ex...
