Job Description:
We are seeking an intern who has been trained in computational biology, and has demonstrated a broad understanding in human biology. The intern will work on building models of cell-cell communication network to improve the mechanistic understanding of multi-cellular tissue functions in normal and perturbed conditions. The intern is expected to use public or in-house RNAseq data to construct cell-cell communication networks to uncover novel biological mechanisms that drive to tissue-level function. If time permits, experimental validation of model prediction will be performed in cell-based models. The intern will take the initiative to identify gaps in our knowledge by taking advantage of their technical expertise and academic connections. Basic Qualifications: Amgen requires that all individuals applying for a grad internship or a co-op assignment at Amgen must meet the following criteria:
Additional Info:
Amgen’s 10 – 12 week internship program offers meaningful project experiences that impact patient’s lives. This internship provides the opportunity for executive and social networking events and to participate in community volunteer projects while providing a competitive compensation. Relocation in the form of a miscellaneous allowance will be provided for eligible candidates. The Translational Systems Biology laboratory in the Comparative Biology and Safety Sciences department at Amgen is committed to using the human genetics and advanced experimental platforms to transform the way drugs are discovered and developed. Amgen is an Equal Opportunity employer and will consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or disability status.
