About this opportunity
Stage de recherche en bioinformatique et génomique pour analyser des données de séquençage (Illumina/Oxford Nanopore) sur le virus MPOX et pathogènes émergents. Durée : 6-8 mois à Yaoundé, Cameroun.
The Centre Pasteur du Cameroun (CPC) offers an academic research internship focused on bioinformatics and genomics, specifically for MPOX virus research. This internship targets a Master II student with strong programming skills in Python, R, Linux/Unix, and an interest in molecular biology and public health. The role involves developing and optimizing bioinformatics pipelines for high-throughput sequencing data analysis, with a focus on genomic surveillance and phylogenetics of emerging pathogens. The intern will work under the supervision of Dr. Delia Doreen DJUICY in the Virology Service/Genomics Platform, contributing to projects on MPOX and other public health viruses. The internship spans 6 to 8 months, starting in November 2026, with the possibility of extending into a doctoral thesis based on performance.
