Our integrated technologies model offers turnkey scale and biotechnological capabilities to power genetic medicines processes, programs, and companies to their full potential. The Role: ElevateBio is looking for a motivated co-op or intern to support the Bioinformatics team housed in the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Core at ElevateBio Basecamp. Here’s What You’ll Do: In collaboration with our sequencing core’s wet lab, run and manage a comprehensive sequencing project with a bioinformatics lens. Such projects could include 1) a project comparing the performance and outcome of automated versus manual sample library preparation (e.g., for RNA-seq or DNA target capture). 2) CRISPR single cell RNA-seq screening to compare phenotypes of edited vs unedited human cells. For either project, the Co-Op will help plan the experimental design with wet lab, observe sequence preparation in lab, review sequence run performance, run (and adjust as needed) a processing pipeline in AWS, and analyze results using relevant tools. Other routine Co-Op tasks will include cloud-based data transfer, presenting to the NGS Core Team/larger groups, and supporting other bioinformatics projects as needed (e.g., run processing pipelines and analysis). Collaborate on sequencing experimental design with the NGS Core wet lab and observe sample preparation Review sequence performance Prepare visualizations to convey complex findings (Python/R) Assist in routine tasks such as data transfers, present findings at team or department meetings, run other processing pipelines and NGS analysis Requirements: Graduate or undergraduate student working towards a degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics or similar Experience using or knowledge of common bioinformatic tools such as tools involved in quality control, alignment, and quantification or variant calling of NGS data Experience with at least one programming language (preferably R or Python) Experience with or knowledge of cloud computing (AWS is a plus) Comfortable with fast pace, team-oriented environments Why Join ElevateBio?
