Moderna is seeking a talented co-op/intern with an interest in molecular modeling or protein engineering to help us develop, implement and benchmark protein and/or RNA simulations. The student will be mentored by a computational protein engineer within the Molecular Engineering and Modeling Department. Biology, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Physics majors with programming or computational modeling experience are encouraged to apply. Here’s What You’ll Do: Read the academic literature to understand state-of-the-art structural design algorithms and simulation methods. Prototype, implement, and benchmark algorithms for molecular modeling and/or design. Integrate code into platform codebase. Learn and apply standard software engineering practices for documentation, testing, and version control. Present methods and results to the team. Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table: Minimum GPA of 3.5. Currently enrolled Junior, Senior, or graduate student. Previous co-op or intern experience preferred. A fundamental understanding of chemistry and physics is essential. Basic programming and Linux skills are required. Python or MATLAB programming is a plus. Protein modeling experience is preferred but not required. Must be curious, eager, open to learning, and independent Here’s What We’ll Bring to the Table: On-site subsidized cafeteria or catered lunches Free parking, monthly subway pass or a subsidized commuter rail pass Free annual corporate membership to Bluebikes Highly competitive healthcare coverage including: medical offered through BCBS (HMO/PPO), dental, and vision offered through VSP Flexible Spending Accounts for medical expenses and dependent care expenses About Moderna: Moderna is advancing messenger RNA (mRNA) science to create a new class of transformative medicines for patients. mRNA medicines are designed to direct the body’s cells to produce intracellular, membrane or secreted proteins that can have a therapeutic or preventive benefit and have the potential to address a broad spectrum of diseases. The Company’s platform builds on continuous advances in basic and applied mRNA science, delivery technology and manufacturing, providing Moderna the capability to pursue in parallel a robust pipeline of new development candidates. Moderna is developing therapeutics and vaccines for infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, rare diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, independently and with strategic collaborators. Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., Moderna currently has strategic alliances for development programs with AstraZeneca, Plc. and Merck, Inc., as well as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a division of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). Moderna has been ranked in the top ten of Science’s list of top biopharma industry employers for the past five years. To learn more, visit www.modernatx.com.
