Internships:
Bachelor Internship
(B.Sc. thesis)
Focused on one method or one tool
Richer in coding
examples:
– Development of a package or a tool, like a small software to be tested, a repository of scripts, a conda recipe, an R package.
– Development of a workflow for a pipeline to be released in Nextflow
Master Internship
(M.Sc. thesis)
Focused on one scientific question
Less centred on coding (i.e. not the goal of the project), but some statistics required
examples:
Master projects will be more tightly related to our research activities. As such, topics will vary depending on the stage of development of the projects we are working on. Please look at our research interests and ongoing work.
Requirements
A minimal amount of bioinformatics knowledge should be acquired before any intern can begin her/his internship project.
An on-boarding study plan has been prepared: this will serve to identify any knowledge gaps, and suggest a study plan to be followed before commencing the internship activity.
The knowledge required varies depending on the project, and it might include:
– Bash
– Python
– R
– Nextflow
The intern will then learn, under supervision, to work in either HPC or Cloud environments.
