Undergraduate students

We have open positions for undergraduate students to conduct research projects in our lab during the academic year and/or during the summer.

If you are interested, please send an email attaching a CV to Gabriel Kreiman.


Title: Discovering transcription factor binding sites using high throughput sequencing technology

Description: We are currently developing new methods and software for analysing chromatin immunoprecipitation data obtained from high throughput sequencing technology (ChIP-Seq). The data reveals the location of transcription factor binding sites in vivo with very high resolution. This information is crucial for gaining a mechanistic understanding of gene regulatory programmes. A single experiment produces very large data sets and it presents interesting challenges and opportunities for the computational and statistical analysis.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated student with programming and/or web development experience. There are numerous opportunities available for the further development of the software tools, the statistical methodology or the biophysical models which have been developed so far in the lab. Please email martin.hemberg@childrens.harvard.edu if you are interested in joining our team.

Prerequisites: Experience in software development and/or web programming. Alternatively, a strong background in mathematics, statistics or physics will also be sufficient. Prior knowledge of the biology involved is not required.
