2 weeks ago

Bar Harbor, United States The Jackson Laboratory Full time

This position is available to enrolled Northeastern University students who are currently eligible for Co-op July - December 2024.

The Computational Sciences (CS) department is seeking a Roux Institute co-op student. Over the Fall 2024 semester, the student will work under the direct supervision of a Computational Scientist collaborating on a research and development project to establish formal benchmarking and validation routines for a suite of multi-omics analysis workflows.

In this position, you will formalize gold standard testing data and automate benchmarking of Nextflow pipelines designed to process bulk multi-omics data (e.g., RNA, whole genome, etc.). You will ensure that workflow produce sane outputs, which recapitulate gold standard truth sets. Datasets will be designed to be as small as possible but as large as necessary. The challenges will be in developing the data required, implementing testing routines, understanding multiple diverse genomic and transcriptomic analysis requirements, and writing clean, efficient, well-documented code.

From this experience, you will leave with the ability to create fully scalable and reproducible scientific workflows using software containers, and practical experience in an array of genomic data analysis methods. During the semester you will have opportunities to present your work to the Computational Sciences group. You will collaborate closely with members of the Computational Sciences next-generation sequencing operations group, and with the broader Jackson Laboratory research community to implement and utilize what you develop.

The ideal start date for this position is by July 8, 2024.

Key Responsibilities

  • Understand the structure of Computational Sciences Nextflow analysis pipelines, generate gold standard multi-omics data and conduct benchmark testing of workflows.
  • Develop automated Nextflow scripts to benchmark CS Nextflow pipelines.
  • Communicate progress regularly with supervisor, show initiative in finding solutions to problems, and actively ask for help when stuck
  • Develop creative and informative graphics to show results.
Desired Qualifications

JAX encourages applications from a diverse mix of educational backgrounds and experiences. Preferred qualifications include:
  • Must be enrolled in a college or university program
  • Pursuing a Master's degree
  • Experience with a scripting language (e.g., R, Python, JavaScript)
  • Experience using HPC clusters
  • Enthusiasm to learn new skills and techniques


Submission of a cover letter and resume are required for this position

The hourly pay range is $17.50 - $35.00.
