Postdoc Position in Bioinformatics

[botinstuzh]

The Institute of Plant Biology of the University of Zürich specializes in the investigation of molecular aspects of plant physiology, plant development, and plant-environment interactions. The laboratory of Prof. U. Grossniklaus focuses on the study of the genetic and epigenetic basis of sexual plant reproduction and apomixis, increasingly by using systems biology approaches.

We are looking for a committed bioinformatics expert with genuine interest in basic research. In the project you will be involved in the analysis of transcriptional and epigenetic changes that occur during an phenotypic transition in a non-model plant. Your key responsibility will be the evaluation and analysis of data obtained from next generation sequencing experiments at the genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic level.

Your qualifications:
• PhD in biology with a specialization in bioinformatics
• Experience in the evaluation of raw data from next generation sequencing experiments
• Proficiency in English with excellent communication skills

Our offer:
• A full time position with a competitive salary for 2 years
• Intellectual participation in an exciting area of modern biology
• Highly flexible working times
• A dynamic, multinational working environment, located in the beautiful Botanical Garden of Zürich
