Oxford Nanopore Technologies is headquartered at the Oxford Science Park outside Oxford, UK, with satellite offices and a commercial presence in many global locations across the US, APAC, and Europe.
Oxford Nanopore employs from multiple subject areas including nanopore science, molecular biology and applications, informatics, engineering, electronics, manufacturing, and commercialisation. The management team, led by CEO Dr. Gordon Sanghera, has a track record of delivering disruptive technologies to the market.
Oxford Nanopore’s sequencing platform is the only technology that offers real-time analysis, in fully scalable formats from pocket to population scale, that can analyse native DNA or RNA and sequence any length of fragment to achieve short to ultra-long read lengths. Our goal is to enable the analysis of any living thing, by anyone, anywhere.
Location:
Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Oxford, UK Duration:
3 months, with potential for extension Start Date:
Summer 2025 Hours:
Full-time About the role: Intern positions are available from the spring/summer of 2025, to suit dedicated undergraduate and postgraduate student scientists studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences, Engineering, or Material Science and who have a curiosity about pursuing a career in the physical sciences. You will be looking for an authentic and structured intern experience and ideally, be on course to achieve at least a 2.1 degree at a leading university. Details: Several roles are available based in the Chemistry Research, Development, or Production groups. In each role, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team working on synthesis, characterization, or testing of core chemical components of our sequencing platforms. All roles are hands-on and laboratory-based, designed to enhance your skills and experience in key areas of chemistry. Opportunities are available in various domains, including: Synthesis and purification of small molecules (e.g., intermediates, phosphoramidites, and triphosphates) Modified oligonucleotide conjugates (including post-synthesis modifications and conjugation) Polymer synthesis and purification using preparative HPLC Analytical techniques such as HPLC, LCMS, and CE Biophysical chemistry involving membranes, colloids/emulsions, and interfaces, as well as electrophysiology and mentoring will be provided to support your success. Eligibility: Successful candidates will be available to accept a minimum 3-month placement, commencing from spring/summer 2025. Specific dates will be discussed at interview. All roles require the intern to work full-time hours for the duration of the placement and be present in our Oxford HQ, on Oxford Science Park. Person Specification: Essential:
Willingness to learn under direction. Desirable:
Self-directed learning ability. Benefits: An opportunity to work on impactful projects in genomic sequencing, contributing to technology that can transform healthcare and research. Mentorship from experienced engineers and scientists. Access to cutting-edge resources and tools. Networking opportunities within the biotech and engineering communities. Competitive internship compensation. Final stage selection will take place in Oxford HQ. If you’re interested in gaining work experience in a highly skilled team of friendly scientists while contributing to the development of platforms for DNA/RNA sequencing development, we would love to hear from you.
