Summer Intern, Bioinformatics

Asuragen is seeking multiple outstanding undergraduates, recent graduates
and/or graduate students in the computational sciences for 2019 summer
internships focused on developing innovative methods and/or software
solutions that support Asuragen’s molecular diagnostics portfolio and
clinical research products.

These internship positions offer exposure to cutting-edge, applied
scientific research and provide unique experiences that come from working
in a scientific business. Projects will advance computational methods that
can help diagnose disease and/or inform the treatment of disorders ranging
from autism to cancer. Each intern will have a specific project and an
Asuragen scientific mentor; projects are scoped to produce defined outcomes
within the internship period. Potential internship opportunities span the
diagnostic product development spectrum, from conception and feasibility
through late-stage development.

We are looking for academically accomplished, highly motivated, and
energetic individuals with a strong interest in research and development in
an industry setting. Previous research experience is preferred,
particularly in one of the following areas: Biostatistics, machine
learning, numerical optimization, next-generation sequencing data analysis
or software development (in one or more of the following languages: Python,
R, JavaScript or C++).

Additional information:

  Internships are full-time commitments for a minimum of 8 weeks,
typically beginning in early June. Options to extend the internship beyond
the summer period may be considered.

  Potential projects include: computational problems involving
combinatorial optimization, scientific web application development, and
statistical methods development for next- generation-sequencing (including
approaches for CNV, INDEL, and SNV detection), qPCR, and CE data analysis.

  Application Deadline: March 29th, 2019.

  Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
