The Laboratory of Regenerative and Muscle Biology at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with the Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ), offers a unique opportunity for a bioinformatician to engage in cutting-edge omics data research.
Headed by Prof. Ori Bar-Nur, the Laboratory of Regenerative and Muscle Biology (RMB) is a multidisciplinary group dedicated to translating fundamental research into therapeutically applicable treatments. The lab operates at the crossroads of molecular and cellular biology, gene- and cell-based therapies, and tissue engineering. It utilizes multiomics tools extensively in its research projects to enhance our understanding of biological processes.
The Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ) is a premier core facility of ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, specializing in the latest omics technologies for biomolecular research and personalized medicine. The FGCZ Genome Informatics group is committed to supporting researchers with the analysis and interpretation of large-scale datasets, particularly next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. This team encompasses raw data processing, high-performance computing, statistical evaluation, interpretation, and integrated analysis. The FGCZ prides itself on maintaining a robust open-source software environment and developing state-of-the-art analytical concepts and algorithms.
The bioinformatician will play a pivotal role in a broad range of basic and translational research projects within the RMB lab. This position demands close collaboration with an international research team and requires a high level of motivation, scientific curiosity, and a team-oriented approach. As a member of the FGCZ Genome Informatics group, the candidate will deliver essential bioinformatics services to support a variety of ongoing projects. Responsibilities will include performing data analyses using the group's existing infrastructure and developing and implementing additional analysis workflows. There will be a particular emphasis on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics applications, so experience in these areas is highly desirable.
The RMB Lab is situated in the SLA building on the Schwerzenbach Campus of ETH Zurich, a world-renowned institution. We provide an advanced work environment equipped with multiple well-resourced facilities, expert staff, and supportive colleagues, along with vibrant opportunities for innovative and dynamic projects. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, adhering to the employment regulations of ETH Zurich.
The FGCZ boasts extensive expertise in the analysis of single-cell, spatial transcriptomics, and other NGS data types, providing an open and collaborative working environment. With our high-performance hardware and software infrastructure, we empower researchers to efficiently conduct data analysis at scale.
