Core expertise in at least one area:

  • Microbial genomics (assembly/metagenomics)
  • Variant calling / large-scale genomics
  • Bulk or single-cell RNA-seq

Technical experience:

  • Nextflow or Snakemake (production + cloud deployment)
  • Strong foundation in sequence analysis (alignment, assembly, etc.)
  • Experience with Illumina or Oxford Nanopore data
  • Python (NumPy, Pandas, BioPython, Jupyter)
  • Docker / containerization tools
  • Git-based workflows
  • Linux and production-level scripting
  • Large-scale genomic data processing

⭐ Nice to Have
