The Laboratory of Regenerative and Muscle Biology at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with the Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ), is seeking a skilled bioinformatician to work on omics data.
The Laboratory of Regenerative and Muscle Biology (RMB), led by Prof. Ori Bar-Nur, is a dynamic and collaborative team focused on translating fundamental research findings into therapeutically applicable treatments. The lab operates at the intersection of molecular and cellular biology, gene- and cell-based therapies, and tissue engineering, employing multiomics tools to enhance our understanding of biological processes.
The Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ) serves as a joint core facility for ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, utilizing the latest omics technologies for biomolecular research and personalized medicine. The FGCZ Genome Informatics group specializes in supporting researchers with the analysis and interpretation of large-scale datasets, particularly next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The team excels in raw data processing, high-performance computing, statistical evaluation, interpretation, and integrated analysis, while maintaining a cutting-edge open-source software environment.
The bioinformatician will play a crucial role in a variety of basic and translational research projects within the RMB lab. This position involves close collaboration with an international research team and requires a motivated and scientifically curious individual with a collaborative mindset. As part of the FGCZ Genome Informatics group, the selected candidate will deliver bioinformatics services to support ongoing projects, including performing data analyses using existing infrastructure and developing additional workflows. There will be a strong emphasis on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics applications, and experience in these areas is highly desirable.
The RMB Lab is situated in the SLA building on the Schwerzenbach Campus of ETH Zurich, a prestigious institution known for its cutting-edge research. We provide a state-of-the-art work environment, well-equipped facilities, expert staff, supportive colleagues, and opportunities for innovative and dynamic projects. A competitive salary and benefits package will be offered, adhering to the regulations of ETH Zurich.
The FGCZ boasts extensive expertise in analyzing single-cell, spatial transcriptomics, and various types of NGS data. We foster an open and collaborative working environment, equipped with high-performance hardware and software to facilitate efficient large-scale data analysis.
