- Basic molecular, immune or immuno-metabolic techniques (e.g. qPCR, ELISA, multi-parametric flow cytometry, immunoblots)
- Basic statistical analysis
- Experience in performing scientific projects in immunology, molecular biology, infectious biology
- Ability to work independently on his/her project to generate, analyze and present reproducible scientific results in the form of publications and at meetings
- english language (C1 level)
The ideal candidate has the following profile:
- Expertise in (or bioinformatic analysis of) any high-dimensional single cell technologies such as single cell RNA- or ATAC-Seq, high-dimensional cytometry, spatial transcriptomics or cell imaging
- Expertise in knocking-out gene or protein functions
- Expertise in particular immune subsets (e.g. neutrophils, T-cells)
