Job Description


Exscientia is an AI-driven pharmatech company committed to discovering, designing, and developing the best possible drugs in the fastest and most effective manner. Exscientia developed the first-ever functional precision oncology platform to successfully guide treatment selection and improve patient outcomes in a prospective interventional clinical study, as well as to progress AI-designed small molecules into the clinical setting. Our pipeline demonstrates our ability to rapidly translate scientific concepts into precision-designed therapeutic candidates, with more than 25 projects underway. By designing better drugs, faster, we believe the best ideas of science can rapidly become the best medicines for patients.

As a Spring Intern in Cheminformatics, you will test and optimize Exscientia’s molecular scoring and ranking platform, work with drug designers, and support Exscientia’s Cheminformatic division. Nearly all aspects of Exscientia’s automated workflows rely on accurate molecular scoring and ranking, so the work produced during this internship will inform the next generation drug design. In addition to the primary project of scoring platform optimization, the Intern will shadow and support the Cheminformatic lead on a drug design project team.

Exscientia is a global leader in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to modernize the way new medicines are created. We do this by applying the latest research, machine learning and modern high-performance computational methods to transform drug design.

Exscientia developed the first-ever functional precision oncology platform to successfully guide treatment selection and improve patient outcomes in a prospective interventional clinical study, as well as to progress AI-designed small molecules into the clinical setting.

We’re seeking an Intern to join us in the Spring semester (January to May). You will contribute to our mission to develop better medicines, faster, to people around the world.

Note: This is a PAID internship.

Please ensure you attach a Cover Letter outlining your suitability for/ interest in this role otherwise your application may not be considered.

  • Work with industry leaders.
  • Develop your programming skills in Python.
  • Develop your skills in cheminformatics and molecular representation.
  • Gain insight on how software and research is conducted in an industrial setting.
Requirements

  • You are a MSc or PhD student
  • You study a science subject related to Computational Chemistry, Cheminformatics, Computational Biology, Biophysics, or related fields.
  • You will be able to demonstrate through the selection process, intermediate Python programming experience, using one or more cheminformatic toolkits, such as RDKit, Open Eye, KNIME, etc.
  • You can work independently, willing to try to figure things out yourself but not afraid to ask for help when stuck either.
  • You are interested in drug discovery.
  • You are available between January and May 2023 for a minimum of 12 weeks.
  • You are available to work 40 hours per week (including 1 hour for lunch daily).

Preferred but not required skills include:

  • Experience with Software Engineering
  • CADD Experience
  • Chemistry experience (synthetic, computational, or medicinal)
  • Computational Biology/Biophysics experience (e.g., MD, molecular docking, CADD)
  • Structural biology experience (e.g., X-Ray Crystallography, NMR…)
Benefits

  • Gain direct mentoring from doctoral level mentors and co-workers.
  • Dedicated self-discovery time to further a scientific/ engineering skill/ interest.
  • Work together to make a positive contribution to patients by revolutionising the pharmaceutical industry through AI-driven discovery.
  • The opportunity to acquire valuable skills, work on problems that matter, and learn from world-class technological and scientific leaders.
  • Opportunity to join an inclusive, collaborative and intellectually stimulating culture
  • Our team’s health and well-being is important to us we offer a generous holiday allowance, provide flexible working and remote working to encourage all of our team to manage their own work, time and life along with wellbeing and mindfulness support.

Speak with our talent team to learn more about how we encourage flexibility and work life balance.

As the Project Leader, Biology you will be responsible for:

Being a proven drug-hunter, providing project leadership to small-molecule drug discovery programmes in oncology and/or immune disease. You will work with partners and project teams to set and deliver overall strategic objectives for discovery and translational delivery (including target candidate profiles) and be responsible for lead and clinical candidate milestones. By providing leadership to multi-disciplinary teams, you will advance programs from the partnered and internal pipeline to deliver clinical candidates, leading the biology, ensuring relevant and robust data is generated to drive discovery forward.

The successful individual will plan and provide effective coordination of functions, ensuring appropriate resourcing and timing of activities to maximise the impact of the project team. They will regularly report progress to collaborators and internal decision-making bodies and use data-driven approaches to guide project strategy. The development of successful internal and external relationships with partners, academic leaders and contract research organisations is critical.

The Project Leader will use their experience in drug discovery biology to design and implement screening cascades, using assay systems and endpoints which are relevant to and inform on target mechanism and disease biology. They will work with our internal biology teams and external partners to ensure project assay data is robust and that compound activity translates across assay systems.

The influence of this position extends beyond Exscientia’s drug discovery portfolio. You will provide biology input on potential new biological targets to support decisions on their inclusion in the Exscientia portfolio (e.g. translational, tractability, strategic approach).

Finally, as a seasoned drug hunter, you will provide mentorship to less experienced team members as they build their careers within Exscientia.
