Our company's Research Lab's Chemical Biology group within Discovery Chemistry is seeking a summer intern with a passion for scientific research, strong academic performance, communication skills, and the ability to work on cross-functional teams. We offer opportunities in our state-of-the-art science laboratories to solve fundamental synthetic or biological problems relevant to drug discovery and development, while functioning as a fully integrated member of the company project teams.

Our Company's Chemical Biology (comprising of chemistry, proteomics, and cell pharmacology) focuses on providing novel, high-quality targets and expanding confidence on molecular mechanism of action for our key assets. Candidates will leverage their chemical and biological expertise to solve complex biological problems while working in both chemistry and biology laboratory spaces. The internship will provide an opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge on how our Company's Research Labs (RL) uses key technologies to create a synergistic toolbox for early discovery and beyond.

The candidate will engage in departmental and project team meetings, gaining insight into the scientific, strategic, and operational aspects of pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. In turn, the candidate will develop a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with advancing therapeutic programs. They will be responsible for, and trained in, accurate electronic notebook documentation and safe laboratory practices. Additionally, the candidate will have opportunities to communicate their work in both oral presentations and written reports.

Ultimately, the intern will gain hands‑on experience in the development of proteomics workflows, including leveraging novel chemical probes to interrogate protein complexes in a therapeutically relevant cellular setting.

• Design and develop of chemoproteomics workflows to interrogate protein complexes in a therapeutically relevant setting
• Analyze and interpret experimental data, maintaining detailed lab records
• Collaborate with team members to troubleshoot and optimize workflows
• Participate in lab meetings and present findings
• Please note when applying for this position,the candidate must have consent from PI. If the candidate is selected for an interview, the applicant must be prepared to submit letters of recommendation and a brief research statement and a copy of transcripts.
