Basel, Schweiz Friedrich Miescher Institute Vollzeit

A position for a research technician (80-100 %) is available in the group of Dr. Margherita Turco at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI). The central aim of the Turco laboratory is to understand the critical events occurring during the early stages of pregnancy in humans by investigating how the human placenta develops and how this process is influenced by the maternal uterine microenvironment. The team uses a wide range of techniques from 3D organoid cultures, imaging, CRISPR/Cas gene editing to genomic technologies. Eligibility for the position does not require extensive experience, as training will be given. However, an undergraduate degree in biological sciences (or equivalent) is a minimum requirement. The role will be centred around maintaining and assuring overall efficient running of the laboratory and contributing to the research effort of the team.

- Maintaining basic lab infrastructure and regular updating of lab databases.
- Supervising and training of individuals involved in lab projects within the group.

**Profile**:

- Ability to work flexible hours when required to process precious patient samples.
- Reliability and strong work ethics.
- High levels of motivation needed especially when carrying out repetitive tasks.
- Ability to use own initiative, and to work independently and as part of a team.
