Jobs at Adimab

Computational Antibody Design Internship

Location: Mountain View, CA

Type: Internship

Min. Experience: Student (College)

Adimab is the leading technology provider for therapeutic antibody drug discovery, focusing solely on our partnerships without pursuing an internal product pipeline. Since 2009, we have partnered with over 100 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, generating more than 500 therapeutic programs, of which more than 70 have entered clinical trials.

Role Overview:
Adimab is seeking Computational Protein Design and Machine Learning/Data Science interns for summer 2024. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of computational methods for discovery and optimization of therapeutic antibodies and proteins, working closely with members of the Adimab Computational Biology and Antibody Engineering teams.

Multiple internship positions are available – projects will be tailored to individual interests and background, as well as company needs. Our goal is that our interns move projects forward in meaningful ways during their time at Adimab.

Location, timing, and compensation

The internship will be fully on-site with our Computational Biology group located in Mountain View, California
Start date in June 2024 for approximately 12-16 weeks
Competitive compensation and relocation assistance (if applicable)

Responsibilities

Application and/or development of Rosetta or Deep Learning-based approaches for protein structure prediction and design
Train and improve ML (Machine Learning) models on Adimab’s proprietary experimental datasets to predict and improve antibody function and properties

Desired upon hire

Currently pursuing a graduate degree in a relevant field (computational/structural biology, computer science, bioengineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, etc.).
Ideal candidates will have completed their qualifying exam and 3-4 years of their PhD program with a publication/presentation record reflecting novel method development and application
Prior experience creating, training, and deploying Deep Learning models
Prior experience developing methods in the Rosetta macromolecular modeling suite, or similar software
Preference for candidates with experience in developing or fine-tuning models for de novo design of protein structure and function (Diffusion, Hallucination, Inpainting, etc.), Large Language Models for proteins, or geometric deep-learning
Experience developing machine learning methods and software in a collaborative team environment
Strong programmer with proficiency in Python and Deep Learning frameworks (such as Tensorflow, PyTorch, etc.)

Come join us!
Our integrated antibody discovery and engineering platform provides unprecedented speed from antigen to purified, full-length human IgGs with exquisite specificity and biophysical behavior. We offer fundamental advantages by delivering diverse panels of antibodies that meet the most demanding standards for affinity, epitope specificity, species cross-reactivity, and developability. We enable our partners to rapidly expand their biologics pipelines through a broad spectrum of technology access arrangements.

As a profitable privately-held biotech company, we take a long-term view on value creation and make substantial investments in technology development, research, and our people.

- a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A “recently separated veteran” means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An “Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
