Offer Description
Postdoctoral Researcher – Molecular and Systems Biology & Toxicology
The ETH Laboratory of Toxicology, led by Professor Shana Sturla, is part of the ETH Department of Health Science & Technology. We are a multidisciplinary team working at the chemistry-biology interface exploring relationships between chemical structures and cellular responses relevant to food and chemical safety and drug development. More information about the research group can be found here .
Job description
A postdoctoral opportunity is available with a focus on molecular & systems biology and toxicology. The research will involve evaluating the impacts of chemicals on molecular and cellular responses in human cells. You will develop new approach methodologies for in vitro toxicology by computational integration of various sources of high-content data (i.e. DNA sequencing, multi-omics, imaging). The work is expected to combine laboratory experiments with a high level of integrative data analysis. There are opportunities to collaborate in diverse aspects of research relating to DNA damage and mutagenesis, microbial metabolism of chemicals, and precision medicine.
