PostDoc or PhD position on molecular methods for the detection of infectious disease agents in wastewater

Throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Switzerland, we have been actively monitoring wastewater for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Our work has led to time series data on SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in wastewater from six wastewater treatment plants across Switzerland, translation of the data into wastewater-derived effective reproduction numbers and time series data on SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern from wastewater. We are also actively working on faster, sequence-independent approaches for detection of Variants of Concern in wastewater.

**If you are** excited about this topic, and have a background (MSc or PhD) in microbiology, molecular biology, environmental sciences, environmental engineering, public health, or related field, you are invited to apply. Prior experience in molecular methods, including RNA/DNA extraction and qPCR/dPCR is necessary. Experience in virology, sequencing (PacBio, Illuminaand/or Nanopore) with associated bioinformatics is beneficial.

**Application evaluation is on a rolling basis and will continue until the position is filled.**Please include a letter of motivation (one page maximum) explaining why you think you fit this position well, a CV and the names and contact information of two references.

**Eawag is **a modern employer and offers an excellent working environment where staff can contribute their strengths, experience and ways of thinking. We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diversity and inclusion. The compatibility of career and family is of central importance to us.
