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.

Your profile

• You have, or expect to obtain, an MSc or equivalent in toxicology, chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, food science, microbiology, or a closely related discipline
• You have good written and oral communication skills in English 
• You have an independent mindset, leadership qualities and enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team
• You have a strong foundation of practical experience involving (bio)chemistry, molecular or cell biology
• Students who excel in quantitative aspects of toxicology/chemistry/biology, microbial metabolism or related topics are particularly encouraged to apply
