Location: Waltham, MA
We are currently seeking rising undergraduate sophomores, juniors or seniors working towards obtaining a degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or any related discipline in the STEM field for a 10-12 week internship during the summer of 2022.
Objectives/Goals of this Position:
The primary objective of the Medicinal Chemistry Intern is to assist drug discovery efforts in synthetic, analytical/structural or computational chemistry.
Primary Duties:
Applicants will select a sub-speciality in either synthetic, analytical/structural, or computational chemistry to focus on during their internship:
Synthetic chemists are expected synthesize, purify, acquire and analyze data of chemical intermediates from multi-step syntheses and final drug candidates that are submitted for biological evaluation, while following safety/environmental protocols and documenting experiments in laboratory notebooks.
Analytical/structural chemists are expected to purify, acquire and analyze data to characterize purity, structural, dynamical and physicochemical properties of chemical compounds, while following safety/environmental protocols and documenting experiments in laboratory notebooks.
Computational chemists are expected to apply state-of-the-art scientific software to generate and/or evaluate new molecule ideas with the prediction of physical chemical properties and binding affinity.
