The Laboratory of Regenerative and Muscle Biology at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with the Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ), offers an exciting opportunity for a 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 of scientists dedicated to translating basic research findings into therapeutically applicable treatments. The lab focuses on the intersection of molecular and cellular biology, gene- and cell-based therapies, and tissue engineering, utilizing multiomics tools 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, leveraging 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, covering raw data processing, high-performance computing, statistical evaluation, interpretation, and integrated analysis. Our team operates in an open-source software environment, establishing state-of-the-art data analysis concepts and algorithms.
The bioinformatician will play a key role in a variety of basic and translational research projects within the RMB lab. The position requires close collaboration with an international research team, demanding high levels of motivation, scientific curiosity, and a collaborative spirit. As part of the FGCZ Genome Informatics group, the successful candidate will deliver bioinformatics services to support ongoing projects. This includes performing data analyses using the group's existing infrastructure and developing additional analysis workflows, with a particular emphasis on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics applications. Previous experience with these assays is highly desirable.
The RMB Lab is situated in the SLA building on the Schwerzenbach Campus of ETH Zurich, a renowned institution. 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 employment terms and regulations of ETH Zurich.
The FGCZ possesses extensive expertise in analyzing single-cell, spatial transcriptomics, and various types of NGS data. We foster an open, collaborative working environment, equipped with high-performance hardware and software infrastructure that enables researchers to efficiently conduct large-scale data analysis.
