About the position
The Earth and Biological Sciences Directorate (EBSD) leads novel and necessary research in three core areas: Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Environmental Molecular Sciences. The contributions of EBSD staff are many as we continue to elevate the impact of PNNL's science mission: to understand, predict, and control the complex adaptive systems underlying the science behind Earth, energy, and security. The Computational Biology group in Biological Sciences Division is seeking spring or summer MS interns to develop their computational skills by applying them to a variety of projects in computational biology. Interns should expect to work in multidisciplinary teams on computing and data analytics tasks across the spectrum of omics applications. Interns will be supported and guided by project and management mentors, and build their network of colleagues through team-based project work. Candidates will contribute to analysis, development of software technologies and algorithms, and publications such as manuscripts and presentations.
