Summer Internship Opportunity with the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium (PCCTC)

The Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium (PCCTC) team is seeking a summer intern to contribute to the PCCTC mission while the PCCTC in turn provides exposure and support for interns interested in pursuing careers in clinical research or other health professions! The PCCTC’s distinguished clinical investigators, including former Cal Poly Professor Shannon Pileggi, work together on a single mission: to design, implement and complete hypothesis-driven trials in prostate cancer, translating scientific discoveries to improve standards of care. We offer services to carry out this mission ensuring efficient trial selection, reporting, site management, clinical operations and data management.

The summer intern will work directly with the PCCTC’s Data Science team, gaining hands-on experience with the data oversight and reporting aspects of clinical research within the framework of R programming and version control with git & GitHub. The intern will also have the opportunity meet and learn from staff in other PCCTC divisions, such as Business Operations, Data Management, Clinical Operations, Correlative Sciences and Monitoring.

The team is seeking candidates with previous R or related programming experience; a nice-to-have is git and GitHub experience as well. Knowledge of introductory statistics is helpful; advanced statistics knowledge is not necessary. 

Cal Poly statistics alumna, Kirina Sirohi, and 2022 Data Science intern wrote a blog post about her internship experience; please read it to learn more about the working environment.

2026 Summer REU: Equitable Data Science in Adolescent Development

Dear all, for Summer 2026, the Division of Biostatistics at the University of Minnesota will be hosting a 10-week Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), called Equitable Data Science in Adolescent Development. This 10-week REU is a paid, full-time position designed to give undergraduate students hands-on training and research experience in data science, statistical modeling and machine learning, and scientific communication. Students will analyze data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, the largest longitudinal study on adolescent development in the United States. The titles for Summer 2025's projects are below, to give you an idea of the types of projects the students can work on for Summer 2026:

• Aggregating Asian-Americans Masks Subgroup Variation in Adolescent Psychopathology
• The Impact of Early Life Adversity on Cortical Thinning
• Investigating the Role of Early Life Adversity on Risk for Substance Experimentation
• Who Defines "Typical" Brain Development? Racial Bias in Normative Modeling

Our website contains more details about the program. If you know any undergraduate students who may be interested, please share this website with them, and please encourage them to apply. The deadline for applications is 1 February 2026.

If you have any questions about this program, please let me know.

 

Thanks!
