The Scientific Computing and Mathematical Modeling group at GlaxoSmithKline seeks talented advanced undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics and computer science for summer internship positions.

Scientific Computing and Mathematical Modeling (SCMM) applies mathematical and computational techniques to a variety of challenging problems in pharmaceutical research. We are the premier mathematical modeling group in the pharmaceutical industry. Our group works on mathematical models related to the biology of disease states and drug interventions, the
chemistry and physics of drug formulations and delivery devices, and the structure of large biochemical pathways in cells. In addition, we develop sophisticated computational tools that are used to build and calibrate mathematical models, incorporate large quantities of experimental data, and visualize the results of model-generated computational experiments.

For Summer 2007 we are seeking for graduate students and highly advanced undergraduates for three internship positions. The projects are listed below together with the required skills for each position:

• Lipoprotein metabolism: Mathematical biology, scientific computing, mathematical modeling
• Model calibration and optimization: Numerical analysis, optimization, Matlab programming
• Scientific computing: Programming

We seek mature, motivated self-starters who can successfully integrate sophisticated mathematics and computer software with real-world biological problems. The internship positions may be located at our facilities in the Philadelphia area or in Research Triangle Park, NC.
