**Position**: Bioinformatics Intern
**Location**: Begumpet, Hyderabad
**Duration**: 3-4 months
**Compensation**: Paid / Stipend-based
**Start Date**: Flexible

**About Us**:
Git Tech, a forward-thinking startup in the biotechnology and AI space, is developing cutting-edge solutions for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease. We leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques on multimodal healthcare data to build software as a medical device (SaMD). We are seeking highly motivated **Bioinformatics Interns** to support our customer discovery efforts and assist in the development of ML algorithms.

**Position Overview**:
We are looking for fresh graduates or students pursuing a Master's degree in Bioinformatics or related fields to join our team as interns. The role is multidisciplinary, involving both **customer discovery** (understanding user needs) and **machine learning development** (building AI models for medical data). This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to gain hands-on experience in both technical development and product-market fit research.

**Key Responsibilities**:Customer Discovery**:

- Conduct user research by interviewing patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders in the healthcare industry.
- Collect and analyze feedback to identify pain points and opportunities in the market.
- Translate customer insights into technical requirements for product development.
- Assist in the design and deployment of surveys/questionnaires to gather large-scale user data.
- Collaborate with the team to define customer personas and potential market segments.

**Machine Learning & Bioinformatics**:

- Analyze complex biological and clinical data related to Parkinson’s disease, such as genomic, proteomic, or clinical data.
- Preprocess and clean multimodal datasets for machine learning analysis.
- Assist in building and optimizing AI algorithms for predictive modeling of Parkinson’s disease.
- Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to deploy models into a production environment.
- Document and communicate research results, including data visualizations and technical reports.

**Required Qualifications**:

- **Pursuing or recently graduated** with a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Data Science, or related fields.
- **Strong understanding** of biological datasets (genomic, proteomic, etc.) and experience in bioinformatics tools.
- **Proficiency in programming languages** such as Python or R, particularly for data analysis and machine learning.
- Experience with **machine learning frameworks** (e.g., TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn).
- **Basic understanding** of AI/ML concepts such as supervised learning, classification, regression, and clustering.
- Excellent **analytical and problem-solving skills** with attention to detail.
- Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

**Preferred Qualifications**:

- Experience with **cloud-based platforms** for data analysis (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud).
- Exposure to healthcare or clinical datasets and experience in processing multimodal data.
- Familiarity with **customer discovery** methods, including conducting interviews and gathering user feedback.
- Knowledge of **statistical analysis** and data visualization tools (e.g., Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn).
- Understanding of **neurodegenerative diseases** like Parkinson’s disease is a plus.

**Soft Skills**:

- Strong **communication skills** for interacting with customers and stakeholders.
- **Team-oriented** with the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- **Curiosity** and willingness to learn and adapt to new challenges.
- **Time management** skills to handle both customer discovery and technical tasks efficiently.

**What We Offer**:

- Opportunity to work on a **real-world AI-based project** in healthcare and bioinformatics.
- Mentorship from experienced professionals in **bioinformatics**, **AI**, and **product development**.
- Hands-on experience with both **customer discovery** and **machine learning development**.
- Potential opportunity for **full-time employment** or an extended contract based on performance.
- A **collaborative work environment** where innovation and creativity are encouraged.
