Location: Suresnes (92), France
Contract Type: Internship (minimum 4 months)
Start Date: ASAP
At Phagos, we are on a mission to create a cleaner, more sustainable future. By harnessing the power of bacteria’s natural predator - the bacteriophage - we aim to tackle antibiotic resistance and to cure infectious diseases.
As a bioinformatics intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience in computational biology, contribute to key research efforts, and help shape the tools that drive our discoveries.
Your Responsibilities
- Conduct literature reviews on bioinformatics methods and tools relevant to bacteriophage research.
- Benchmark specific bioinformatics tools to identify the best options for our automated pipelines and our needs
- Assist in integrating selected tools into our workflows, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
- Summarize findings and provide recommendations to guide decision-making in our research team.
Required qualifications
- Bachelor’s (final year) or master’s (first or second year) students in Bioinformatics or a related field.
- Experience with genomic data and processing with Nanopore/Illumina,
- Proficiency in BASH and Python or R,
- Writing and speaking proficiency in English
- Able to implement, benchmark and evaluate bioinformatics tools
- Able to interpret the results of operational tasks
- Familiar with basic concepts in microbiology (bacteria DNA, contigs, genetics, bacterial or
phage genomics)
- Able to communicate well their findings in the format of a report
