About this position
This fellowship is based in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, in the Office of Biostatistics and Pharmacovigilance in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project sits at the intersection of bioinformatics, structural biology, and AI/machine learning, with an emphasis on improving scientific computing capabilities for biological data analysis.
The fellow will work on developing novel algorithms and adapting existing tools to compute, analyze, and interpret large-scale biological and scientific datasets in high-performance computing environments. The work supports FDA’s High-performance Integrated Virtual Environment (HIVE) infrastructure and scientific computing environment, and includes applications for genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics data.
Under mentor guidance, the participant will contribute to software and computational methods that improve performance, scalability, reliability, and security of bioinformatics and structural biology applications. The role also includes maintaining and testing applications, standardizing and automating processes, and strengthening components of the AI-focused HPC environment used for biological data research.
The research environment combines public-health regulation with advanced data science and biological computation inside a federal scientific setting. The opportunity is mentored by Luis Santana-Quintero.
