Recruitment began on October 31, 2025

and the job listing Expires on January 24, 2026

Genomics Experience for Master’s Students (GEMS) is a 12-week program for master’s level quantitative scientists that aims to create an immersive experience for the student to engage in real-world team science projects and learn to apply and translate their quantitative skills into meaningful scientific contributions in cancer medicine with a focus on cancer genomics and precision oncology. This full-time, on campus research experience allows students to fully engage with mentors and a multidisciplinary research team on cutting-edge projects with the goal to propel them into genomics-oriented data science careers.

Each fellow will have two mentors – one quantitative/computational mentor and one scientific mentor – to provide a highly interdisciplinary and immersive training environment and will prepare students for the interdisciplinary translational science workforce. Trainees must demonstrate a strong interest to learn cancer genomics and need not have experience in this area.

Applicants must complete the application form, and send their resume, statement of interest and three letters of recommendation to GEMS. The deadline for all application materials is 5pm EST on January 23rd, 2026.

Eligible applicants must be:

• Currently matriculated in a master level program (biostatistics, statistics or related field)
• Trained in statistical theory, methods and programming and related fields
