• Interest in analyzing complex biological data
• Experience with sequencing data analysis (RNA-Seq, single-cell, spatial transcriptomics)
• Proficiency in high-level languages like Python or R
• Good coding practices
• Image analysis skills (a plus)

An open PhD project on the subject is possible.
