Year in Industry – Data Science
Immunocore
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Oxford
Contract type: Full time
Location of role Abingdon, UK
Department Translational Medicine
Key Responsibilities Purpose of the role
We have an opportunity in our Translational Medicine Group for a 12-month placement (Year in industry). We are looking for enthusiastic and highly motivated individuals who would relish the chance to learn from Immunocore’s cutting edge science and corporate growth.
Combination therapy, which involves using multiple drugs together, is a common strategy in cancer treatment. A deep understanding of how cancer cell lines respond to drug treatments is essential for advancing targeted therapies, especially in the context of combinational treatments. The aim of this project is to leverage publicly available RNA-seq data from cancer cell lines treated with specific drugs that are often used as a first-line treatment and can potentially be used in combination with ImmTAC molecules. This will help us to understand the mechanisms behind drug synergy or antagonism by highlighting the key genes and pathways altered by the drug treatment.
Key Responsibilities
The project will involve data gathering, data management, processing and visualization drawing up a complete data processing cycle.
In addition, this project will provide an excellent opportunity for the applicant to develop skills in bioinformatics and computational biology, including coding in R or Python, RNA-seq data analysis, and statistical methods. This project provides a good ground for a cross-disciplinary learning experience and implies interactions with wet lab scientists.
Education & Qualifications
Currently studying towards a BSC in life sciences / bio-medicine or similar discipline. This would suit someone with an interest in data science and coding. Python, R, and a familiarity with Linux are desirable but can be taught during the placement.
What will you receive?
Join Immunocore for a paid placement and gain insights from our innovative science and corporate growth. You’ll enjoy 25 days of annual leave (pro rata), pension scheme eligibility, and access to our active Sports and Social Club with subsidized events.
