Data Science & Machine Learning Intern: Statistical Genetics
South San Francisco, CA
This summer we are looking for highly motivated interns looking to work at the intersection of machine learning and life sciences. As a statistical genetics intern, you will conduct genetic association studies and other statistical genetics techniques that involve integration of genetic, genomic and clinical data to guide in vitro disease model development. You will also work closely with a cross-functional team of machine learning scientists, software engineers, life scientists, bioengineers, and medical scientists to integrate human level data with our high-throughput in-house in vitro genomic and phenotypic data to identify therapeutic targets and develop drugs that have high efficacy and low toxicity.
Insitro has a highly dynamic and collaborative culture in a custom-built open office in South San Francisco. You will work closely with machine learning engineers and scientists, biologists, chemists, microscopy experts, and automation engineers. You will be mentored by one of our senior researchers, who has significant experience in machine learning for genetics or statistical genetics in metabolism, neuroscience, or oncology. You will also attend our machine learning team meetings and will be exposed to a diverse set of novel technologies and machine learning concepts that tackle various biological questions.
Join us, and help make a difference to patients!
