Postdoctoral Position in Bioinformatics/gut Microbiota Ecology and Evolution

vor 2 Wochen


Lausanne, Schweiz Université de Lausanne Vollzeit

**Introduction**:
UNIL is a leading international teaching and research institution, with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students split between its Dorigny campus, CHUV and Epalinges. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition and responsibility.

**Presentation**:
The Department of Fundamental Microbiology offers a postdoctoral position in bioinformatics/gut microbiota ecology and evolution.

The Engel group is part of the Department of Fundamental Microbiology, a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary, and team-oriented scientific environment. We consist of a diverse mix of microbiologists, ecologists and evolutionary biologists from all over the world that specialize in bioinformatics and wet-lab approaches, and are funded through the University of Lausanne and the Swiss National Science Foundation. 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 are equipped with state-of-the art infrastructures enabling cutting-edge research with access to many core facilities located on campus (microscopy, proteomics, sequencing facilities, computational cluster). We have strong ties to other Departments within the University, such as the Department of Ecology and Evolution, and also actively collaborate with other research teams within and outside of Switzerland, for example in Southeast Asia and Brazil.

**Job information**:
Expected start date: flexible
Contract length: 1 year, possibility of renewal
Activity rate: 100%
Workplace: University of Lausanne, Dorigny campus

**Your responsibilities**:
At least 80% of the working time will be dedicated to personal research. The remaining of the working time may be dedicated to teaching (organization and supervision of student practicals).

**Your qualifications**:
Applicants should have a PhD in microbiology, bioinformatics, ecology, or evolutionary biology. We are looking for someone with prior research experience and research output in large-scale sequence data analysis/microbial genomics, and with a keen interest for conceptual thinking in ecology and evolution. A good command of the English language, a high personal motivation to excel in science, and a curious mind are required. We offer a stimulating environment in a diverse research group combining computational (i.e., microbial genomics and ecology) and experimental approaches to study microbial symbiosis in the gut. The focus of the project can be adapted to the interests of the applicant in the framework of the funded project.

**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 department is situated on a beautiful campus at the shore of Lake Geneva with a great view of the Alps and with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities.
