This position is open exclusively to current Northeastern University Co-Op students.
Work Period: January 2027 to June 2027. This is a full - time, 40 hours per week position with 5 days in office.
What you'd do
- Work closely with CBDS scientists to process, analyze, and interpret next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, including RNA-seq and/or small RNA-seq.
- Assist in the development and automation of bioinformatics pipelines using Python, R, or workflow management systems like Snakemake or Nextflow.
- Perform data quality control, alignment, quantification, and differential expression analysis.
- Help curate internal datasets and contribute to data visualization and reporting to cross-functional teams.
- Participate in regular team meetings, journal clubs, and code reviews to grow technically and scientifically.
- Collaborate with wet lab scientists to translate experimental results into actionable insights.
- Conduct SHAPE-MAP analyses alongside ongoing maintenance of internal applications.
What you get
- Build alongside founders. You’ll work inside the same hypothesis-driven process Flagship uses to conceive and launch first-in-category companies.
- This can be the start of a longer story. Strong co-ops are considered for future opportunities across Flagship and its portfolio companies, not just for this one role.
- Work alongside people who left the safe path. Your colleagues are scientists, engineers, and operators who chose to build something new rather than join something already established.
- Take on real ownership. You're contributing to ventures that are still being defined. Your work can shape real decisions, not just support them.
- Be paid like the contributor you are. Compensation reflects the real work you take on.
