Position Summary

To support research focused on identifying biomarkers and understanding molecular features associated with specific genetic aberrancies in oncology disease. The intern will use patient-derived omics datasets and computational modeling to predict candidate biomarkers and characterize their impact on tumor biology through analysis of spatial transcriptomic data. This position offers a hands-on research experience within a collaborative, cross-functional team in a dynamic R&D environment. The intern's work will generate valuable insights into disease mechanisms and contribute to strategic decision-making for drug development. The full-time internship will take place June - August 2026.

Key Responsibilities

• Prediction Modeling : Apply predictive modeling techniques to identify candidate biomarkers that improve identification of patients with specific genetic aberrancies.
• Spatial Transcriptomic Analysis : Utilize spatial transcriptomic data to characterize molecular features associated with specific genetic aberrancies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
• Flexible Deliverables : Project goals may be tailored to fit the intern's interests and skills. For example, predictive modeling can be broadened to benchmark multiple methodologies, and spatial transcriptomic analysis may extend to multi-modal, integrative data analysis.

Qualifications & Experience

Currently enrolled in a PhD program in bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative field. Proficiency in at least one scripting language (R preferred). Familiarity with data reproducibility best practices (e.g., Git / GitHub; containers / workflows are a plus). Experience analyzing spatial transcriptomics data and / or building prediction models using omics data types. A strong foundation of cancer biology is a plus. Must be able to work full-time for the program duration. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

All candidates must be authorized to work in the US both at the time of hire and for the duration of their employment. Please note that immigration or visa sponsorship is not available for this position. This is a temporary, time-bound position intended for the duration of the internship or co-op program.
