NCGAS Development Intern
Project overview:
This internship in the UITS Research Technologies Division—specifically with the National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS)—will assist with the development of new community tools for population biology and genome annotation. This internship will allow the student to learn and work in bioinformatics, managing diverse genomic data and software and introducing them to common genomic analyses and sequencing technologies, while also learning to automate workflows to work on an High Performance Computing (HPC) system. In addition, the student will have the opportunity to discuss analyses and common issues with NCGAS clients and personnel while developing these workflows. This internship is appropriate for students with an interest in bioinformatics, computational genomics, and/or biotechnology.
Description of duties:
- Work with the NCGAS team to convert ticket responses and various internal resources into new packaged workflows for user community (RADseq and Genome Annotation)
- Help convert existing workflows to new job handler
- Ensure the design is HPC friendly and well documented
Qualifications:
- Excellent understanding of problems faced by biologists working in HPC
- Exposure to command line, job handlers, data management, genomic data Preferred: Experience with Canvas Experience with video development
