Job Description:
We seek a graduate student in bioinformatics, computational biology, or computer science for an internship opportunity, working in a highly collaborative and team-based environment. Our bioinformatics and data management team has created a suite of web tools that we use to design, analyze, and track DNA constructs and proteins for expression and assay. We have several project possibilities in mind involving the creation of new web tools for data management and analysis (but to be clear, these are not data science projects). The exact project will be defined by business needs, interest by the candidate, and time constraints; project ideas include building a new design tool or analyzing assay results and other data to identify places where we can improve our processes. This is an excellent opportunity to apply bioinformatics and data management skills in an industry environment. The dates for this summer internship are May 14 - August 3 of 2018. Responsibilities:
