Bioinformatics Intern

Remote

**Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future visa sponsorship.

At RefinedScience, our mission is to advance care by bringing together the best science, data and minds – disease by disease, patient by patient, cell by cell to discover pathways to life beyond disease.   

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics Intern to join our team. This internship is ideal for graduate students (Master’s or Ph.D.) passionate about applying computational methods to solve complex biological and healthcare challenges. You will have the opportunity to contribute to projects involving genomics and single cell multiomics data, leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning to drive meaningful scientific insights.

Our Bioinformatics team plays a crucial role in integrating computational biology, large-scale data analysis, and machine learning to drive discoveries in precision medicine, genomics, and drug development.

POTENTIAL ACTIVITES

  • Analyze large-scale single cell multiomics datasets (CITE-seq) to generate insights into disease mechanisms.
  • Work on machine learning and statistical approaches to support biomarker discovery and precision medicine initiatives.
  • Develop and optimize bioinformatics workflows and pipelines for high-throughput data processing, quality control, and analysis.
  • Develop novel visualizations to support interactive exploration of high dimensional single cell multiomics datasets.
  • Collaborate with scientists, clinicians, and data scientists to design and execute data-driven research projects.
  • Present findings through technical reports, visualizations, and presentations to cross-functional teams.

 

MUST HAVES

  • Master’s or Ph.D. candidate in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Data Science, or a related field.
  • Experience using R or Python programming languages for computational biology research.
  • Experience analyzing high throughput sequencing data and single cell RNA-seq data.
  • Familiarity with processing and analyzing data within a cloud or HPC computing environment.
  • Basic understanding of cancer biology, genomics, or related relevant biological fields.
  • Demonstrated ability to conduct reproducible computational biology research, as evidenced by Github repositories and/or scientific publications.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to communicate complex insights effectively.

Duration:  8 – 10 Weeks (40 hours per week)

Location:  Remote or Hybrid. Candidate will be expected to travel to our headquarters (Aurora, CO) at least once during the internship.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
