Internships typically start in June and run through August/September.Global Health Labs is seeking a Graduate-level Summer Intern to join a dynamic R&D team in work that pushes the cutting-edge of what is possible in cost, ease of use, and performance for solutions designed for low resource settings in low- and middle-income countries.Organization OverviewGlobal Health Labs, Inc (GH Labs) is a nonprofit organization created in 2020 by Gates Ventures (the private office of Bill Gates) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with an inspiring and ambitious mission to develop innovative solutions to address unmet needs in primary healthcare and the last mile.Supported by a team of nearly 100 scientists, researchers, global health experts, and project managers, GH Labs develops innovative solutions to address critical technology gaps in low-resource environments with a focus on three primary areas serving Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs):Diagnostics (‘Dx’)Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (‘MNCH’) Tools for Primary Healthcare CentersPrimary Healthcare Center (‘PHC’) Hardware and EquipmentRecent innovations developed by the GH Labs team include a new COVID-19 antigen test, a novel ultrasound technology suited to low-resource environments to detect various lung diseases, an AI-enabled tool to detect cervical cancer with a smartphone in primary care settings, and a vaccine cold chain container.Role SummaryThe Machine Learning Intern will contribute to algorithm development for ultrasound interpretation and pregnancy risk stratification, in service of GH Labs’ mission. They will develop, train, and evaluate ML/DL algorithms, contribute to the existing code base, and participate in technical and team meetings.Key Duties and Responsibilities The Machine Learning Intern will be responsible for assisting in system design, architecture definition, performance analysis, training, and testing of complex algorithms. Technical competency and the ability to find creative solutions to difficult problems are critical skills in this position. Strong machine learning and software engineering are important foundations. In collaboration with other team members, the Machine Learning Intern will:Design systems, CNN-architectures, and pre- and post-processing modules.Write code to instantiate algorithm designs using software best practices.Perform unit and system testing on algorithms and evaluate results.Present results and conduct design reviews with technical peers and management.Required Skills & Experience Currently enrolled in a Masters or PhD (preferred) program in Computer Science or a related STEM discipline, with at least one term remaining after the internship is completed.1+ years of experience with machine learning algorithm and software development.Proficiency and experience with medical image or signal processing preferred.Proficiency and experience with classification and regression using models such as logistic regression, random forests,gradient boosted trees, and support vector machines.Proficiency and experience with deep learning algorithms (CNN, LSTM, etc.) in support of computer vision and objectrecognition/detection.Experience using deep learning frameworks such as Tensorflow, Keras, or PyTorch.Proficiency and experience with Python and software best practices (required), SQL, Linux and Docker (preferred).Experience with data analysis and presentation of results in various formats.Scientific research and quality assurance integrity.Strong team orientation.Passion for the global health mission.Required CompetenciesGH Labs Success FactorsWe believe there are a few prioritized key capabilities and behaviors that are critical to success for all roles at GH Labs. They are:Accelerates Impact: takes risks, proves/disproves concepts quickly and with a growth mindset, solves creatively, and partners strategically to achieve results and deliver impact on GH Labs mission.Demonstrates Collaboration: actively listens and works with others openly and transparently to create an environment where diverse viewpoints are valued, and information is shared for the purposes of solving problems and achieving collective goals. Seeks collaborative solutions as the best path to sustainable change.Promotes Accountability: holds self and others accountable so that success is celebrated, and failure is understood and addressed.Establishes Trust: interacts, shares, and receives information and feedback in a way that builds trust and gains the confidence of others.Role-Specific Success FactorsAbility to Multitask: can effectively prioritize and sequence activities, shifting from strategic and complex work to tactical implementation, as needed.Action Oriented: takes on new opportunities and tough challenges with a sense of urgency, high energy, and enthusiasm.Communicates Effectively: develops and delivers multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences, including an ability to influence across boundaries (levels, roles, cultures).Decision Quality: has experience using data to drive decision-making, project planning, progress measurement, and the achievement of results.Nimble Learner: actively learns through experimentation when tackling new challenges, using both successes and failures as learning fodder.Equal Opportunity Statement:GH Labs is committed to being an inclusive, equitable and positive workplace, where all employees thrive personally and professionally.We believe our workforce should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we work to serve.We also believe in the research that demonstrates diverse groups – including groups diverse in experience and opinion – are more innovative than homogenous ones.As such, diversity is a key pillar of our employment practices, and every applicant and employee drawn to serve the mission of GH Labs will be welcomed and will enjoy equality of opportunity and fair treatment without regard to race, gender identity, color, gender expression, age, national origin, religion, genetic information, pregnancy status, veteran status, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, prior protected activity, disability, and any other basis protected by law.Eligibility:Upon hire, new employees must present proof of: 1) eligibility to legally work in the U.S.; and 2) COVID-19 vaccination status. Currently, GH Labs requires a primary COVID-19 vaccination series and booster for all employees, unless there is an approved medical or religious accommodation. Questions regarding medical or religious accommodations should be directed to HR@ghlabs.org.Export Controls:This role may include access to technology and/or software source code that is subject to U.S. export control requirements under the ITAR or the EAR.
