Postdoc Position in Bioethics
vor 3 Wochen
**About the project**
Forensic Genetic Frequency Databases (FGFDs) provide frequency estimates for DNA profiles, based on representative population samples. These estimates are required to establish the weight of evidence of a DNA profile in criminal cases or to calculate kinship probabilities, e.g. in paternity test-ing. Existing FGFDs have developped from research projects over more than two decades and con-tain a large number of heterogenous datasets. Two aims of this project are to classify the database entries according to ethical aspects and to conduct a broad-based stakeholder consultation, in order to find solutions for the handling of legacy data with an unclear or questionable ethical status. The results of this project will help to render these widely used data ressources fit for future.
Your skills and qualifications
- PhD with a background in bioethics, applied ethics, health law or a related discipline.
- Experience with stakeholder consultations, e.g. using the Delphi method.
- An interest in forensics and basic understanding of genetics.
- Highly motivated, well-organized and able to work autonomously.
- Excellent command of English, German is an advantage.
- Experience of working on genetic data or large public databases is an advantage.
We offer
- Opportunity to advance ethics in forensics, with interdisciplinary and international partners.
- Funding for conference participations, administrative support, excellent infrastructure.
- Competitive salary according to the guidelines of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
