It would be beneficial for candidates to have experience in managing and curating extensive genomic, phenotype, and chemical data. Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, MS Azure, or GCP is desirable. Additionally, understanding of proteins, their structures, and analytical techniques, as well as familiarity with small molecules, their properties, interactions, and various collection sources, including public databases, would be advantageous.

About the department
The Data Representation aims at simplifying the process of data capture in early research using semantic models to establish interoperability across data sets.
