Eligo is building a pioneering platform technology that enables us to engineer phage-derived particles (Eligobiotics) to package and deliver modular therapeutic DNA payloads to genetically (re)program a wide range of bacterial species in-situ. With such a capability, Eligo is poised to lead the new generation of precision microbiome engineering companies, and address serious unmet medical needs in the field of inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases and oncology. We’ve raised €50 million dollars from top investors and have recently published our work in Nature – this is a really exciting time to join the adventure! As an intern in the Bioinformatics team, you will help build, test, and run bioinformatics pipelines and develop tools to assist researchers with data management and visualization. You will collaborate with Eligo’s bioinformaticians and with scientists across the company to learn about the problems that they are working to solve and assist them to implement solutions. Your contributions will have a direct, tangible impact on the cutting-edge products being developed at Eligo as they progress from the benchtop to the clinic! This is a six-month position with the exact start date depending on the student’s academic cycle, potentially followed by a full-time contract. We offer a competitive salary, with the exact amount depending on the candidate’s experience.
