Hello everyone! I am actively looking for a PhD position and would love this community's eyes and ears.
A bit about me: I am a microbial bioinformatician based in Nigeria, a Nextflow Ambassador, Bioinformatics Instructor at STaiMIC (teaching nf-core pipelines), and BugSigDB data curator with the Waldron Lab. Day-to-day, I work with Nextflow/nf-core pipelines, DADA2/QIIME2/phyloseq, shotgun metagenomics, and machine learning on microbiome data.
What I am looking for: a PhD in microbial genomics, metagenomics, AMR, or cancer microbiome research. I am comfortable combining wet lab and dry lab work, and I am also keen to grow into cloud computing, running Nextflow pipelines at scale on AWS/cloud infrastructure, so a lab with a strong computational core is a big plus.
If you know of an open position, a PI looking for this profile, or just want to connect, I wouldd really appreciate it. 🙏
