Train and mentor interns and junior scientists, providing guidance in bacteriophage techniques, sequencing workflows, and bioinformatic analysis.

Skills & Abilities:

Technical Proficiency: Hands‑on expertise in bacteriophage methodologies and sequencing workflows (MinION & Illumina), including DNA extraction and library preparation.
Bioinformatics Competency: Strong skills in genome assembly, annotation, QC pipelines, and scripting in Python and/or R; proficiency with Linux/command‑line tools.
Analytical Skills: Ability to interpret complex datasets, identify key biological insights, and communicate findings effectively.
Attention to Detail: High degree of accuracy in experimental execution, data processing, and documentation to ensure reproducibility and reliability.
Problem Solving: Strong troubleshooting skills across both wet‑lab and computational workflows.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for scientific documentation, reporting, and cross‑functional collaboration.
Innovation: Creative mindset with the ability to generate new approaches, methods, and improvements that advance scientific programs.
Mentorship: Ability to train and guide junior personnel in laboratory and analytical techniques.
Adaptability: Capacity to adjust to evolving technologies, shifting priorities, and new research needs in a dynamic environment.
