POSITION: Fall R&D – Covid-19 Clinical Lab Interns
ORGANIZATION: Mirimus (via LifeSci Internship Program)
Description
These full- and part-time roles, open to undergrads, grad students, and grads, offer the chance to help fight the pandemic here in NYC by assisting in the company’s COVID-19 Clinical Lab as well as in the field.
The opportunity may be of interest both to applicants with lab experience, as well as to those who are strong in computer, communications and organizational skills. (In addition to candidates with the requisite lab skills, Mirimus would also like to see candidates who have excellent computer skills, in particular advanced Excel, including pivot tables and vlook-up.)
Mirimus has devised a strategy of pooling virus test samples and testing entire populations as a unit, cutting the cost of testing dramatically, while enabling the detection of a susceptible group that would need to undergo individual testing. Interns will work in the field (helping with sample collection or training those onsite on how to set up sample collection events, record barcodes, etc.), and may also conduct research and development for Mirimus’s genetic engineering services pipeline.
