Project #1: Weighted Ensemble Simulations for Ligand Unbinding
Location: Santa Fe, NM Mentor: David LeBard, Senior Scientific Software Developer
Goal:
The aim of this project is to develop an automated algorithm applying the path sampling technique known as the weighted ensemble method to calculate ligand unbinding kinetics. Unbinding kinetics (i.e. ligand residence times) is important to the pharmaceutical industry because it measures how long a potential drug will reside within a protein’s active site, which under the view of the drug-target residence-time model will dictate the pharmacological activity. However, unbinding kinetics are difficult to predict computationally, since system sizes are large, and timescales of the unbinding processes are orders of magnitude outside the range of classical simulations. Therefore, this internship will be focused on exploring aspects of weighted ensemble simulations to provide an efficient means of overcoming the large free energy barriers associated with ligand unbinding in a short amount of wall-clock time.
Job Description:
OpenEye Scientific is seeking a graduate-level intern to explore various aspects of ligand unbinding using the weighted ensemble (WE) method. This project will involve (but is not limited to) building a workflow to automate the setup of the WE simulations of ligand unbinding, as well as a separate workflow to analyze the mechanism, pathway, and kinetics of the ligand unbinding process. All WE simulations will be run using WESTPA with OpenMM as the molecular dynamics (MD) engine. This project will be conducted using OpenEye’s cloud platform for scientific computing.

Project #3: Optimization with Reinforcement Learning (Scientific Software Developer)
Location: Santa Fe, NM Mentor: Grigory Ovanesyan, Senior Scientific Software Developer
Goals and Objectives:
Software for drug discovery heavily relies on optimization algorithms, for example to find most stable molecular geometry. Traditionally, simple iterative methods such as steepest descent are used. The goal of this project is to explore progress made in literature on using reinforcement learning optimization. If it turns out that in some cases this new method outperforms the currently utilized ones it would be very useful for practical applications (e.g. classical and quantum conformational ensemble generation, crystal structures optimizations).
Job Description:
OpenEye Scientific Software is seeking an intern to work on optimization algorithm based on reinforcement learning. Reinforcement learning has been very successful in game theory, for example in Chess and Go. The basic idea is to try random moves and learn from mistakes (e.g. when you lose in chess, or in the optimization case, when the function value after the move is large). The project will include implementing reinforcement learning optimization algorithm and experiments, comparing it to traditional iterative algorithms, such as steepest descent, BFGS, Newton’s method.

Project #4: Backend Web Developer Intern *** THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN CANCELLED ***
Project #5: Inventory Management Specialist
Location: Santa Fe, NM Mentor: Nick Sewell, Head of Information Technology
Goals:
The goal of this internship is to implement an Asset Inventory System, collect and record hardware and support information for existing hardware, and develop the process for registering new equipment and tracking the usage through its lifecycle.
The products generated by this internship will allow the IT team to better manage existing hardware. Additionally, the Finance team will be able to use this data to track hardware depreciation schedules as well as have a structured basis for total hardware valuations.
Job Description and Requirements:
OpenEye is seeking an intern to work as an Inventory Management Specialist. During this internship you will work with the Head of IT to design and implement an asset inventory system to track OpenEye's growing list of hardware. This project will include collating data, creating organization structures and processes for managing a diverse collection of hardware.
The ideal candidate for this internship will be an expert in organization with a keen attention to detail. You should be process driven and take great pride in designing processes and systems which are easy for other people to use. You will be challenged with a variety of tasks and problems so the ability to research, evaluate and adapt possible solutions is crucial. You should be proficient with Microsoft Excel and general usage of a computer. You do not need to be an expert in IT, but familiarity with the components of computer and network systems is beneficial.
Applicants from all majors are accepted.
