Job description:
The incoming Assistant Professor is expected to dive deep, charting unexplored territories in microbiology - ideally the researcher shows a diagnostic interest. We're searching for a visionary - someone keen on introducing groundbreaking microbiological methods and theories with applications that resonate from the clinic to the very frontier of academic research. A passion for teaching, paired with the leadership skills required to lead a research team, is indispensable.
Your profile:
We seek excellence. Candidates must:
- Satisfy the eligibility criteria for SNSF starting grants, specifically targeting those with a track record showcasing 2 to 8 years of post-PhD research.
- Stand out with research outputs that not only exceed their doctoral contributions but also redefine boundaries in the field.
- We are particularly interested in the following expertise: "mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance or virulence", "protein and phage engineering", "metabolome analysis and mass spectrometry approaches to study microorganisms", "microfluidics and/or imaging in the context of infection biology", “data science in microbiology”, “organoids”, and/or “evolution of pathogens (bioinformatics)”.
Strong applications of candidates with other expertise in the context of microbiology are also explicitly welcome. The University of Zurich champions individuals who display leadership, drive, and a commitment to fostering collaborative work cultures.
