**About Us**

Founded in 2015, Deep Genomics is a drug development company that aims to revolutionize medicine by leveraging expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and genome biology. We have built the world’s first, and by far the most advanced, AI platform that is able to untangle the enormous complexity of RNA biology and find the best targets, mechanisms, and molecules. We take immense pride in our team of people whose backgrounds span a diverse range of disciplines including those found in a traditional biotechnology company, as well as machine learning, laboratory automation, and software engineering.

**Where You Fit In**

We are seeking exceptional graduate or senior undergraduate students for an 8 to 12-month internship with an interest in using machine learning, large datasets and automation to revolutionize drug development.

**What you will do**:

- Estable benchmark datasets and workflows to evaluate model performance on the effects of oligonucleotide drugs and genetic variants
- Learn how to train large genomics models

**What you bring**:

- Currently enrolled in a graduate program (e.g. MSc, PhD) with a focus in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology or a related discipline. Senior undergraduates will also be considered
- Experience with the development of algorithms/analysis pipelines for RNA sequencing datasets
- Experience with benchmarking and evaluating machine learning models

**What we offer**:

- Inspiring, creative and fast-moving startup located right next to the University of Toronto and within the MaRS Discovery District - an expanding hub of research in AI and genomics
- Exceptional opportunity to work alongside a bright, collegial, highly motivated team working at the intersection of the most exciting areas of science and technology
- Competitive compensation package
