From: Christina Chaivorapol <chaivorapol.christina@gene.com> Subject: Open Genentech internship position in the Bioinformatics & Computational Biology Department Date: January 16, 2013 6:31:33 AM GMT+01:00 To: sali@salilab.org

Hi Andrej,

Happy New Year. I hope you are doing well. I am looking for a computational biology intern. Could you please circulate the following internship position at UCSF to graduate students who may be interested in a computational biology internship at Genentech?

Thanks, Christina

Opening for a Genentech internship position in the Bioinformatics & Computational Biology department ---------------------------------- An internship at Genentech is a great way to get exposure to scientific research in an industry setting and meet industry folks from various departments at Genentech.

The intern will focus on analyzing a large-scale sequencing data set in patients with lupus (an autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide). The primary goals are to: 1) compile a database of public non-coding RNAs from various sources 2) explore existing R statistical methods and/or develop statistical methods to query differential expression of non-coding RNAs 3) apply the database and the appropriate statistical methods to analyze differences in expression of non-coding RNAs across various subsets to further understand disease pathogenesis 4) use (if time permits) public and in-house computational methods to understand function and pathways

Requirements: 1) Proficiency in high-level programming languages is essential (preferably in R), and a working knowledge of the UNIX operating system and version control systems (e.g. SVN) is desirable 2) Strong knowledge of biology required, immunology a plus 3) Experience with next generation sequencing data is preferred 4) Ph.D. candidate in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, or related field

All interested candidates should send their CV to chrichai@gene.com. -- Christina Chaivorapol, Ph.D. Genentech, Inc. Bioinformatics & Computational Biology phone: 650-225-6903 chrichai@gene.com
