Phd Position in Computational Biology
vor 3 Monaten
The Department of Biomedicine is a joint effort between the University of Basel and the University Hospitals Basel. It unites basic and clinical scientists to advance our understanding of health and disease and to develop pioneering therapies benefiting the lives of patients in areas of unmet need. With more than 70 research groups and 900 employees, the Department of Biomedicine is the largest department at the University. We are located in the heart of Basel at 6 different locations. Be part of our future
The mission of the group is to understand fundamental mechanisms regulating short
- and long-term metabolic adaptation to genetic and chemical perturbations to find new and unconventional therapeutic strategies, ranging from antibacterial to anticancer drugs. To this end, we develop new ways to combine state-of-the-art technologies in metabolomics with mathematical modeling.
**Your position**
- Developing new strategies to combine high-throughput metabolomics with single cell analysis of metabolic and transcriptional reporters
- Investigating if variations in metabolic activity can act as metabolic mediators of antibiotic tolerance
- Determining the underlying mechanisms that link regulation of respiro-/fermentative metabolism to phenotypic heterogeneity and antibiotic tolerance.
- Testing the relevance of metabolic tolerance in clinical strains
- Support and preparation of scientific reports and journal articles
**Your profile**
Essential:
- Master's degree in (Bio)Physics, (Bio)engineering, Biological Sciences, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Systems Biology, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics/Computational Biology, or related fields.
- Basic experience of designing and running experiments with microbial cultures in the laboratory
- Hands-on experience with key biochemical and molecular biological methods
- Motivation to work in an international research environment
- Experience with and/or motivation to learn systems biology approaches, high-throughput methodologies, analysis of single cells imaging data
- Experience with and motivation to learn programming language (e.g. Matlab, R or Python)
- Good communication skills
Any of the following will be a plus:
- Proficiency in data analysis using Matlab, R or Python
- Interest in mathematical modeling of metabolic and regulatory/signaling network
**We offer you**
- You will have access to state-of-the-art research equipment in metabolomics, cell biology, time-lapse microscopy and single cell analysis.
- You will work in a dynamic and highly interdisciplinary team including computer scientists, experimentalists and clinicians.
- You will be involved in cross-disciplinary collaborations and have training opportunities to further develop and grow your scientific interests.
- Access to a large consortium of experts in different disciplines, such chemistry, engineering, clinics, computational biology and (Micro
- / Cell
- Opportunity to work in close contact with other basic
- and clinical-research groups at the Department of Biomedicine and the Biozentrum in Basel
- Support from highly competent, experienced team members and potential to lead projects with a high degree of academic freedom
