60%-100%, Zurich, fixed-term
The Molecular Oncology Lab, headed by Prof. Nicola Aceto, is located at the Institute of Molecular Health Sciences of the Department of Biology (D-BIOL) within the ETH Hönggerberg campus, the Life Science Campus of ETH Zurich, and comprises a team of dedicated scientists and collaborators across different clinics and pharmaceutical companies.
Project background
The Molecular Oncology Lab combines a wide variety of disciplines to answer outstanding questions in cancer research, with a particular emphasis on the biology of human circulating tumor cells responsible for developing metastasis in patients. This interdisciplinary research group combines microfluidics technologies, patient samples, in vivo models, genome engineering, single-cell analysis, and computational and molecular biology to study how cancer spreads. Recent discoveries from the group involve the identification of metastatic precursors in breast cancer patients (e.g. Diamantopoulou et al., Nature, 2022; Szczerba et al., Nature, 2019; Gkountela et al., Cell, 2019; Donato et al., Cell Rep, 2020), leading to the development of new clinical trials.
Job description
We seek as of now or according to agreement a highly-motivated Laboratory Technician to support current projects in the lab. The main responsibility will be processing patients' blood samples, using novel microfluidic devices followed by microscopy analysis and reporting. You will be part of an international team of researchers and participate in well-funded projects in a highly motivated scientific environment.
Your profile
- A highly motivated research technician interested in substantially contributing to cancer research
- Accepting flexible working hours (required due to the variability in sample collection times with clinical collaborators)
- Responsible and having great organization skills
- Familiar with molecular biology techniques
- Willing to collaborate with lab members and support leading projects in the lab
- Not afraid of testing new protocols and ideas
- A team player with excellent communication skills
- Trained for working with “in vivo” (will be a plus)
