Why this is worth applying to

Only consider if you are enrolled in a relevant MSc program and want hands-on AI drug discovery experience; it is not a clinical career pivot or a paid non-clinical job.

Who should apply

MSc students in computer science, machine learning, AI, cheminformatics, or computational chemistry, including clinicians who have transitioned into such a master's program.

CV angle

Highlight Python programming, machine learning projects, data science, molecular modeling/cheminformatics coursework, and any research or thesis work; for clinicians, frame clinical data analysis, statistics, and research experience as transferable computational skills.

Skills to highlight

  • Python
  • Machine Learning
  • Deep Learning
  • Molecular Simulation
  • Cheminformatics
  • Data Science
  • Reinforcement Learning
  • Drug Discovery
