What is the Invitern Program?

The Invitern Program offers opportunities for students, recent grads, or those who are early in their career to develop industry skills through Invitae’s internship roles.

With each opportunity, we aim to create an experience for our interns (Inviterns!) that is enhanced by mentorship, networking opportunities, and impactful work. Throughout the duration of this program, we hope to offer a sense of community with our Inviterns and build lasting relationships. Our hope is that Inviterns become future Invitaens!

The 2022 Summer Invitern Program is a paid internship and will start June 6th, 2022 and commence August 12, 2022.

Germline Bioinformatics Intern

Invitae’s bioinformatics team develops innovative methods which are robust, scalable and accurate, and which help inform medical decision-making for millions of customers every year. As a Bioinformatics Intern at Invitae, you will be guided by a technical mentor and work closely with bioinformaticians and engineers to improve Invitae’s germline bioinformatics analysis pipeline. You will be responsible for prototyping new techniques for calling genetic events, providing data analysis to guide improvements of existing methods, and presenting your ideas to the bioinformatics team.

Intern Requirements

  • Masters or PhD student in Bioinformatics, computer science or related quantitative disciplines, with demonstrated experience in bioinformatics
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • General software development experience, ideally in Python and version control tools (git)
  • Comfortable working remotely
  • Eager to learn and share your ideas!

Our culture

It’s impossible to distill our culture into three or four feel-good and non-controversial statements, but it is not impossible to describe what we aspire to:

  • Team above the individual
  • Radically honest communication
  • Freedom with accountability
  • Transparency and data-informed action
  • A sense of urgency
