• Exposure to reproducible analysis practices (e.g., scripts, structured documentation, basic version control) and working in notebooks (e.g., Jupyter or R Markdown)
• Familiarity with basic Genomics wet-lab concepts and techniques such as DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, and next-generation sequencing.
• Exposure to basic bioinformatics or high-dimensional biology data concepts (e.g., matrices, normalization concepts, dimensionality reduction/cluster visualization) through coursework or independent learning.
• Familiarity with using AI/ML libraries such as OpenAI or Scikit-learn.

Responsibilities

• Contributing to the development, testing, or refinement of primary analysis or QC scripts under guidance from senior team members.
