In this project we aim to standardize metadata and analysis of single-cell transcriptomics data, for integration between the Bgee and ASAP resources, and to improve single-cell data stewardship in the broader community.

This main focus of this biocurator position will be to provide expert annotation of single-cell gene expression data. This task will include detecting interesting datasets, assessing data sources and datasets, expertly using standards, ontologies and controlled vocabularies of the project, and annotating marker genes.

The biocurator will be a full member of the Bgee team, and be expected to participate actively in all group meetings and common tasks to advance the project. The person will participate in the life of the University of Lausanne and of SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, including seminars and opportunities for training. The Department and the group are highly international, and all activities are conducted in English.

60% Expert annotation of single-cell gene expression data.
