Summer Lab Intern - Electrophysiology Data Analyst

We have an exciting Summer Lab Intern opportunity in our Icagen Ion Channel Biology group. This is a 10-12 week hands-on summer Internship located at our Durham, North Carolina office.  

The Intern will work on analyzing and disseminating Syncropatch Platform-generated high throughput electrophysiology data utilizing big data visualization tools such as Spotfire. Through this process they will learn about data collection in the laboratory, get first hand experience processing high throughput data, and, importantly, develop a data visualization dashboard to provide a cohesive overview of Syncropatch project outputs in the Ion Channel Technology group. The project will contribute to multiple drug discovery programs by increasing internal data accessibility across multiple levels and providing both high level data summaries as well as details on demand.
