Our group develops multiple scientific software protocols for computational small molecule drug discovery which we have recently used to win an international computational drug discovery competition (CACHE Challenge). We are looking for students to help us disseminate these protocols to the public. Interested students will be tasked with testing, troubleshooting, and documenting these protocols.
As a part of this work, students will learn about biomolecular simulations with the AMBER molecular dynamics engine, as well as methods for computational small molecule drug discovery. While a working knowledge of Python and bash scripting will be helpful, these skills can be acquired on the job and will not be a barrier to entry.
