About The Position

We are seeking a highly motivated and curious student to join the Informatics & Predictive Sciences group for a 10-week paid summer internship. This opportunity is ideal for candidates eager to work at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and functional genomics in a dynamic, translational research environment. The rapid generation of internal and external omics data presents a significant challenge for timely and meaningful interpretation. By leveraging cutting-edge AI tools, including large language models and agentic architectures, the intern will contribute to building solutions that accelerate biological discovery and therapeutic innovation. This internship offers a unique opportunity to engage at the forefront of AI/ML and drug discovery. The selected candidate will gain immersive exposure to the end-to-end drug discovery process while contributing to the development of AI-driven solutions that address real-world biomedical challenges. Working alongside experienced computational and experimental scientists, the intern will help translate cutting-edge AI research into actionable tools that accelerate therapeutic innovation and have the potential to transform patient outcomes. The full-time internship will take place June - August 2026.
