**Your responsibilities**:
We are looking for a motivated bioinformatician to support the research groups in the Department of Fundamental Microbiology, and in particular, in association with the National Centre of Competence in Research Microbiomes. Combining computational, modeling, engineering and synthetic approaches, the NCCR Microbiomes aims to understand the unifying principles of microbiome functioning, to develop tools to diagnose microbiome status, and to devise strategies to intervene and restore imbalanced microbiomes. The selected individual will (i) establish and implement bioinformatics workflows to analyze microbiome sequencing datasets and provide open data accessibility, (ii) support and guide bioinformatics analysis and data management of NCCR-related projects across research groups, (iii) collaborate with other NCCR Microbiomes groups in development of microbiome data analysis, (iv) carry out their own research in the context of microbiome research.
The selected individual will be integrated in the research group of Prof. Philipp Engel, but will further work in close collaboration with the NCCR data management staff and other NCCR bioinformaticians (e.g. at the ETHZ). 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.
**Your qualifications**:
A good command of the English language, a high personal motivation to collaborate and support research projects, and strong communications skills are expected.
**What the position offers you**:
We offer a nice working place in a multicultural, diverse and dynamic academic environment. Opportunities for professional training, a lot of activities and other benefits to discover.
Our vision is to carry out research at the forefront of our field, while creating a friendly and inclusive environment, in which young scientists from different backgrounds can strive and feel empowered. We offer plenty of opportunities for professional training, teaching, networking, outreach, and publishing.
