What are the responsibilities and job description for the Bioinformatics Summer Intern position at Randstad?
job summary:
Come work with our client, a Center of Excellence developing genetic medicines with the potential to deliver transformative value for patients. Based on an innovative scientific approach and industry leading internal manufacturing capability and expertise, they are currently exploring three gene therapy modalities: gene transfer, exon skipping gene therapy, and vectorized RNA knockdown and will also advance additional gene therapy programs toward clinical investigation.
Full-time, fully remote position, will run from June-August
location: Northbrook, Illinois
job type: Contract
salary: $20 - 26 per hour
work hours: 8am to 5pm
education: Bachelors
responsibilities:
This intern will work on the development of an in silico pipeline to identify AVV stuffer sequences.
The pipeline will follow previously established and newly introduced stuffer sequencing criteria. This will include:
Month 1: Overview and training on the AWS system - Review relevant publications on stuffer sequences - Based on the literature search, list the stuffer sequences criteria to computationally predict sites in the human genome - Weekly 1:1 meeting with mentor
Month 2: Identify and download the genome reference data to use for the analyses - Write scripts to apply the established stuffer sequences criteria - Identify newly sequences across the genome
Month 3: Report and presentation of findings at Vector Bioscience meeting

This intern will work on the development of an in silico pipeline to identify AVV stuffer sequences.
The pipeline will follow previously established and newly introduced stuffer sequencing criteria. This will include:
- Conduct a comprehensive literature review to list all the criteria to determine stuff sequences and establish new criteria if needed.
- Find the appropriate genomic dataset from the public repository to run the analyses
- Code and run scripts on the AWS system
- Knowledge of a programming language (R or Python or Perl preferable)
- Opportunity to network and learn from research (next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies)
- Opportunity to shadow, train, and contribute to NGS data analyses
- A presentation/poster and report output. Depending on the results, the identified stuffer sequences will then be validated by collaborators in vitro, as well as their project scope may expand to other constructs and programs
