Data Science Internship

As a data science intern, you will be collaborating with cross-functional teams of biologists, chemists, software engineers, and data scientists to help improve our understanding of the biology and chemistry present in our multi-omics data. We will give you real-world data to work with, and expect you to come up with creative approaches to solve the problems you’re presented with. You will work closely with both your intern mentor and the rest of the data science team. Requirements Passion for the company mission and comfort with answering open-ended questions Ability to brainstorm and communicate with cross-functional teams Strong foundation of statistics, probability, and machine learning Strong programming experience, preferably in Python Interest in biology/life sciences Projected graduation from degree program takes place after the completion of your internship The Data You’ll Work With (depending on your project) Over >25 petabytes of imaging data and deep learning features from hundreds of thousands of biological and chemical perturbations performed on billions of cells. Transcriptomic data from hundreds of biological and chemical perturbations. These data are produced with fully automated experimental protocols and come pre-cleaned and easy to load into Python notebooks. How you will be supported 3 months of full-time, paid internship Ongoing mentoring and training from our Data Science team Paid housing in Salt Lake City for candidates that would require relocation for the term of their internship Free chef prepared meals at Headquarters every day of the week (for summer interns) intern cohort benefits such as Lunch Around Recursion: a program that introduces interns to functional groups outside the Technology Organization Planned social activities An end-of-internship poster presentation open to the entire company.

Recursion is a clinical stage TechBio company leading the space by decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery. Enabling its mission is the Recursion OS, a platform built across diverse technologies that continuously expands one of the world’s largest proprietary biological and chemical datasets. Recursion leverages sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to distill from its dataset a collection of trillions of searchable relationships across biology and chemistry unconstrained by human bias. By commanding massive experimental scale — up to millions of wet lab experiments weekly — and massive computational scale — owning and operating one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, Recursion is uniting technology, biology and chemistry to advance the future of medicine.
