Bioinformatician / Data Analyst (100%)

The Biozentrum of the University of Basel is one of the leading life sciences institutes in the world. It consists of 30 groups and 500 employees that research how molecules and cells create life, spanning the scale from atom to organism. Founded in 1971, the Biozentrum has been the birth place of many fundamental discoveries in biology and medicine, spawning several Nobel Laureates.

A bioinformatics data analyst position is available in the group of Mihaela Zavolan , at the Biozentrum, University of Basel. The group combines high-throughput experimental with computational approaches to study many aspects of RNA processing in the context of processes such as organism aging and cancer development.

The expertise of our group members covers the entire spectrum of biomedical research, from molecular biology to computational tool development, data analysis and software engineering. We recently relocated in a new building in a large and very active life science research park that includes multiple research institutes.

We study how gene expression is regulated in mammalian cells, how it is perturbed in diseases and what key factors are responsible for dysregulation.

We are looking for a talented bioinformatician with extensive experience in transcriptome and proteome data analysis to help us integrate data sets generated in our lab or through collaborative projects.
