IMGT® has an established standardized procedure for analyzing jawed vertebrates’ genome assemblies using various algorithms and internal and exteral tools in an effort to decipher those species’adaptive immune response. With the explosion in data volume produced in the latest years from sequencing human genomes of different individuals of different ancestries, there is an ever increasing need to gain insights in the genomic differences and similarities among individuals. To this end, the student will work in expanding our knowledge available in the genomic loci of the human, through the annotation and biocuration of the genes and alleles in different available assemblies by using IMGT standards and IMGT-ONTOLOGY.
Applicants should have basic bioinformatics skills and knowledge of molecular genetics. Knowledge of immunology and immunogenetics is an advantage.
• The student will receive daily supervision from an experienced team member.
• The IMGT publication list is available at: https://www.imgt.org/IMGTinformation/IMGTreferences.php?data=publications
• The working languages in the lab are English and French.
• Informal inquiries are welcome. To submit your application, please send a CV along with a brief motivation letter.
