Job description

An exciting opportunity is now available in the Robinson group at the University of Zurich for a postdoc-level scientist with a background in statistics, genomics or a relevant complementary profile. In particular, applicants with other numerical backgrounds, such as Computer Science, Physics or Mathematics are encouraged to apply. Demonstrated data analysis and programming skills are required.

The funded project involves the exploration, discovery, analysis and interpretation of splicing patterns in disease-relevant genes across large current-generation RNA-seq datasets as well as targeted long read sequencing of cDNA using third-generation technologies (Pacific Biosciences).

The Robinson lab and Institute of Molecular Life Sciences at UZH provides a rich and diverse scientific environment, with many connections to basic and clinical science as well as industry partnerships. We balance collaborative data analysis with the development of novel statistical methods and software packages for the analysis of genomic data.

Zurich is a world-class city to live in.

The position will be available as early as September 2015 and will be for 18 months in the first instance, with many opportunities for extension.
