We offer a stimulating and international research environment with access to state of the art computational facilities.
About 35% of the work time will be dedicated to providing bioinformatics support for NCCR Microbiomes projects. 10% will be dedicated to teaching NCCR Microbiomes-related Master student courses. The remaining of the working time may be dedicated to personal research within the group of Prof. Engel.
