Internship Next Generation Sequencing Scientist information

What does an internship next generation sequencing scientist do?

An Internship Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Scientist assists in performing experiments and analyses using NGS technologies, such as Illumina or Oxford Nanopore platforms. Interns typically help with sample preparation, sequencing runs, data analysis, and troubleshooting protocols under the supervision of experienced scientists. This role is ideal for students or recent graduates interested in genomics, bioinformatics, or molecular biology, offering hands-on experience with cutting-edge sequencing tools and workflows. Interns may also support research projects, attend lab meetings, and learn about the interpretation of genomic data.

What types of projects and hands-on experiences can I expect as an internship next generation sequencing scientist?

As an Internship Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Scientist, you'll typically work on projects such as preparing DNA or RNA libraries, running sequencing instruments, and analyzing sequencing data under guidance. You'll gain hands-on experience with sample preparation, quality control, and bioinformatics tools, contributing to ongoing research or clinical studies. Interns often collaborate closely with experienced scientists, bioinformaticians, and lab technicians, providing valuable insight into both the technical and collaborative aspects of NGS workflows. This experience is a great stepping stone for those interested in genomics, biotechnology, or data-driven biology careers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an internship next generation sequencing scientist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Internship Next Generation Sequencing Scientist, you typically need a background in molecular biology or genetics, familiarity with DNA/RNA sequencing concepts, and enrollment in or completion of a relevant degree program. Experience with NGS platforms (such as Illumina or Oxford Nanopore), data analysis tools (like FASTQC or Galaxy), and bioinformatics software is highly valuable. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and strong teamwork and communication skills help interns excel in collaborative and data-driven environments. These abilities are crucial for accurately generating, interpreting, and presenting complex sequencing data in research or clinical settings.

Job description


We are seeking a highly motivated next generation sequencing (NGS) data analytic scientist to support Oncology Assay Development at Quest. As a member of the Oncology R&D team, this role will collaborate with other scientists and staff from cross-functional teams to develop, validate, and support cutting-edge genomic assays for oncology applications.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in bioinformatics and/or genomic data analysis for somatic applications, translating complex data into actionable insights that drive product development, operational excellence and clinical impact.
This professional will work in a hybrid capacity requiring 3 days onsite at our Lewisville, TX facility.
Responsibilities
  • Perform bioinformatic analysis of genomics data from next generation sequencing. Specific data types include whole exome sequencing (WES), whole exome sequencing (WGS), and targeted DNA and RNA panel datasets generated from Illumina, Ion Torrent and PacBio sequencing technologies.
  • Curate, analyze, and interpret complex genomics datasets to support assay development, validation, and high throughput implementation
  • Present findings to drive decision-making in R&D product development, troubleshooting, and pipeline improvement
  • Design, develop, and deploy scalable and robust bioinformatics pipelines to support analytical validation data analysis for new oncology products
  • Partner with R&D, automation, laboratory operations, and software teams to understand and address the technical challenges and implement efficient solutions
  • Support production day-to-day operations, quickly pivoting focus to respond to incidents and requests
  • Monitor, execute, and improve sequence analysis workflows and automation
  • Produce charts and visualization for dashboards, reporting, and in support of data driven hypothesis testing
  • Track, troubleshoot and mitigate issues encountered in processing production samples to meet strict Turnaround Times (TAT)
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of analytical methods, workflows, and data quality standards

Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a history of using bioinformatic technical skills to deliver accurate and timely results.
Required Work Experience:
  • Requires at least 4 (four) years of relevant industrial experience in data science and/or bioinformatics role
  • Master's degree, or a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, chemistry, physics, statistics, or a related field
  • Experience with oncology genomics and somatic variant analysis

Preferred Work Experience:
  • Experience in NGS workflow development
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret and communicate experimental results
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, Cross-functional environment.
  • Experience with Software Development Life Cycle documentation procedure
  • Familiarity with assay validation, regulatory environment (CAP/CLIA), or clinical diagnostics

Skills:
  • Experience using scripting languages (Python, R, or similar) for scientific data analysis and visualization
  • Strong proficiency in NGS data processing, QC, and interpretation
  • Experience with analysis of next-generation sequencing data, preferably including Whole-Genome Sequencing, Variant calling, and Annotation
  • Excellent communication skills and the desire to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment
