The Laboratory of Regenerative and Muscle Biology at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with the Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ), offers a joint position for a bioinformatician to work on omics data.
The Laboratory of Regenerative and Muscle Biology (RMB), led by Prof. Ori Bar-Nur, is a multidisciplinary and collaborative group focused on translating basic research findings into therapeutically applicable treatments. The lab operates across molecular and cellular biology, gene- and cell-based therapies, and tissue engineering, employing multiomics tools extensively to advance our understanding of biological processes.
The Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ) serves as a core facility of ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, applying the latest omics technologies for biomolecular research and personalized medicine. The FGCZ Genome Informatics group assists researchers with the analysis and interpretation of large-scale datasets, especially with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. This team handles raw data processing, high-performance computing, statistical evaluation, and integrated analysis using an excellent open-source software environment, establishing state-of-the-art data analysis concepts and algorithms.
The bioinformatician will play a crucial role in a variety of basic and translational research projects within the RMB lab. This position requires close collaboration with an international research team, demanding a high level of motivation, scientific curiosity, and a collaborative mindset. As a member of the FGCZ Genome Informatics group, the candidate will offer bioinformatics services to support ongoing projects, perform data analyses using existing infrastructure, and develop and implement additional analysis workflows. A strong emphasis will be placed on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics applications; previous experience in these assays is highly desirable.
The RMB Lab is situated in the SLA building on the Schwerzenbach Campus of ETH Zurich, a world-leading institute. We provide a cutting-edge work environment, well-equipped facilities, expert staff, supportive colleagues, and opportunities for innovative and dynamic projects. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, adhering to the funding and employment terms set by ETH Zurich.
The FGCZ boasts extensive expertise in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics analysis, alongside other types of NGS data. We foster an open and collaborative working environment, equipped with highly performant hardware and software infrastructure that enables researchers to conduct data analysis efficiently at scale.
