Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Oxford, UK Duration:
3 months, with potential for extension Start Date:
Summer 2025 Hours:
Full-time About the role: An intern position is available from the spring/summer of 2025 in our Automation Solutions team to suit dedicated undergraduate and postgraduate student scientists studying the sciences or engineering at university, and who have a curiosity about pursuing a career in science. You will be looking for an authentic and structured intern experience and be on-course to achieve at least a 2.1 degree in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science. Details: Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to support the development of genomic workflows on product based upon a liquid handling robot (ElysION), including generating data and troubleshooting, with exposure to script writing. Work in a hands-on, laboratory-based environment. Learning & applying scientific technical skills in one or more key aspects of Oxford Nanopore’s sequencing platform technology, such as microfluidics, biochemistry, materials and surface sciences, electronics and numerical simulations. Use research skills to assist in the planning, running, testing and reporting of R&D trials. Understanding and evaluating information to solve a given problem. Apply and develop programming skills to build scripts for test, data analysis and workflow automation. Manipulate and analyse data sets, ensuring accurate and relevant records of experimental work. Be prepared to share, present and discuss findings with the team and management. Use excellent verbal and written communication skills to summarize key findings with the team. Manage time and resources to achieve tasks within given deadlines to a high standard of quality. Demonstrate an intellectual curiosity to both challenge and learn. Eligibility: Successful candidates will be available to accept a minimum 3-month to maximum 12-month placement, commencing from spring/summer 2024. Specific dates will be discussed at interview.
