Description:
The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute aims to advance the understanding of fundamental and historically challenging biological processes by developing theory, innovative modeling tools for large-scale biophysical simulations, and computational frameworks for analyzing increasingly large and complex experimental datasets. Living systems are built hierarchically; as such, CCB’s research activities span several scales of biological organization, bridging the gap between microscopic detail and large-scale behaviors, and providing natural continuity between our groups’ efforts. CCB currently comprises more than 45 research and data scientists at career stages from recent Ph.D. graduates through senior scientists, as well as visiting scientists, guest researchers, graduate students, interns, and administrative support staff. For a full description of CCB research areas and scientific staff, please see our website.

POSITION SUMMARY: Our seasonal, full-time research interns working will work in one or more of our active areas of research, which include: Biological Transport Networks: The Biological Transport Flows group focuses on understanding fluid flows in living organisms. Of particular interest is the modeling of vascular networks across multiple scales, including their function, development and remodeling. We employ advanced computational and theoretical techniques, such as large scale flow network simulations, machine learning, and methods from topological data analysis, to a broad set of problems. Examples include modeling vertebrate and invertebrate circulatory systems, quantifying large datasets of the microvasculature, and understanding and incorporating the effects of nonlinearities into networks of vessels.

This is a paid, full-time internship that will run generally from late May through mid-August, and will take place on-site at our New York City offices. We cover roundtrip travel to New York City, and, if eligible, housing within walking distance of the Flatiron Institute. CCB interns are invited to participate as full members of the CCB and Flatiron communities during their internship.

COMPENSATION

-Interns at the Research Assistant (undergraduate) level will earn $20.00 per hour.

-Interns at the Research Associate (graduate) level will earn $25.00 per hour.

-Interns at the Pre-Doctoral (2 years of PhD-level studies, started thesis and actively working PIs) will earn $28.85 per hour.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Education -Applicants must be currently pursuing or recently completed a bachelor’s, master’s, or be only in the initial stages of their PhD program (first 1-2 years) in applied mathematics, statistics, computational biology, biophysics, computer science, engineering, mathematics physics, or related disciplines.
