Recruiting Computational Undergraduate

The Hess Lab is looking for a highly motivated undergraduate for a computational research/bioinformatics position starting in the 2023 Spring Semester. Our lab is focused on both identifying factors that modify therapeutic response as well as developing strategies to improve treatment efficacy.  We address these questions using high-throughput screening (e.g. CRISPR, peptide libraries, etc.). The position will consist of database mining to design nucleotide libraries as well as analysis of next-generation sequencing data and other genomics databases.

We are located in the Wedge at WIMR and are part of the Center for Human Genomics and Precision Medicine. We require a commitment of ~8-12 hours/week for research credit. Ideal candidate would be proficient with Python and/or R. Interested candidates should send their resume and cover letter describing their interests and any relevant previous experience to ghess3 at wisc.edu
