Data Science & Machine Learning Intern: Small Molecule Machine Learning
South San Francisco, CA
This summer we are looking for highly motivated interns looking to work at the intersection of machine learning and life sciences. As a small molecule machine learning intern, you will lead the development of cutting edge machine learning methods that solve key problems in the drug development process. Specifically you will: 1). Implement, extend, train, validate, and test the performance of cutting-edge models applied to both publicly available datasets, and large-scale internal small molecule datasets from our DNA-encoded library screening technology. 2). Collaborate with our scientists in designing the next set of automated wet-lab experiments that will confirm the results of these models. 3). Design model interpretation techniques to help with decoding novel biological/chemical phenomena within our datasets. You will also have the opportunity to present and publish your work.
Insitro has a highly dynamic and collaborative culture in a custom-built open office in South San Francisco. You will work closely with machine learning engineers and scientists, biologists, chemists, microscopy experts, and automation engineers. You will be mentored by one of our senior researchers, who has significant experience in machine learning for small molecule drug discovery. You will also attend our machine learning team meetings and will be exposed to a diverse set of novel technologies and machine learning concepts that tackle various biological and chemical questions.
Join us, and help make a difference to patients!
