Zürich, Schweiz Animal Genomics Group Vollzeit

Job description

We are looking for a research assistant that is eager to support cutting-edge research projects that involve the generation and analysis of massive third generation sequencing data. You will develop wet lab protocols and workflows to collect (ultra) long sequencing data from different tissue sources and blood samples. You will be responsible to interact with our sequencing facility to ensure the protocols are robust and sequencing yields are stable. You will be able to acces ONT and PacBio technologies to generate data. A contribution to the bioinformatic analysis of the generated data is possible.

Active participation in user group meetings and relevant conferences are very much supported to stay up to date regarding latest developments in this domain.

Our group contributes to the teaching in the study program Agricultural Sciences at ETH. Depending on the experience of the incumbent, a contribution to supervising Bachelor/Master thesis and to the teaching of existing courses, or the development of novel complementary lab-focused offers is expected.

Profile

You have experience in the wet-lab and are familiar with DNA and RNA purification and QC. Experience with either ONT or PacBio sequencing is a prerequisite. You are interested in applying state-of-the art sequencing technologies to address scientific questions in an academic environment. This position is ideally suited for a researcher that is interested in developing and applying cutting-edge long read sequencing methods. You will closely work with doctoral and postdoctoral researcher and support their projects.

Applicants should hold a Bsc, Msc, or PhD degree in disciplines that are related to the advertised position.
