Bioinformatics R&D Intern: Dive Into the World of Molecular Magic with Hologic’s Core Service Team! Ready to geek out over data, code, and actual molecules? Join our Core Service Bioinformatics R&D crew for a 10-12 week internship where science meets innovation. Our team is all about improving molecular assays, and you’ll get hands-on experience with everything from computational analysis to wet lab experiments. You'll work side-by-side with mentors who love sharing knowledge, and your contributions will help real-world healthcare projects come to life. What you’ll be up to during your 10-12 week adventure: • Write and maintain analysis scripts (Python, R, or your favorite language). • Manage cool computational workflows on Linux systems for data analysis and simulations. • Use bioinformatics and statistical tricks to evaluate sequence modifications. • Try your hand at wet lab experiments to test and validate oligonucleotides (yes, you’ll get to wear a lab coat). • Summarize, visualize, and share your findings with the team (bonus points for creative charts). Who we’re hoping to meet: • You can work full-time during the summer (May/June - August/September). • You’re currently working on your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, with at least one semester left after the internship. • Your major is in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Data Science, Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or something similar. • You’re heading into your junior or senior year. • You know how to get your point across, whether you’re writing or speaking. • You have some experience with coding (Python, R, etc.) and Linux systems. • You’re curious about both computational and wet lab work—double the fun! • You love working with others and aren’t afraid to ask questions. • You’re organized and ready to tackle complex problems (with a little help from your new friends). Location, pay & other important details: • You can work onsite at our Marlborough, MA campus. Heads up: intern housing, relocation, and housing stipends aren’t provided, so you’ll need to have your living situation and transportation sorted out. • Pay range: $22 - $35 per hour, based on your class standing and operational function. • The chance to work with a team that’s genuinely invested in your growth. • Networking, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities—all designed to help you thrive. Take your internship to the next level at Hologic! When you join Hologic as a Summer Intern, you’re not just clocking in for a job—you’re jumping into a global team full of motivated, creative, and dedicated people (basically, your future favorite coworkers). This is your chance to shine, show off what you know, and bring your energy and ideas to projects that make a real difference for people all over the world. On top of hands-on experience in your field, our College Relations team will hook you up with opportunities to learn about the company, meet leaders, and build the skills you’ll need to launch your career. Consider this your backstage pass to the future of healthcare innovation. Hologic, Inc. is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer inclusive of disability and veterans. #LI-EK1
