[Equal] ETH Zürich: Ausschreibung: Professur für Tiergenetik

[EqualOpportunity (SL)]

Professor in Animal Genetics

 

The Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences (www.agrl.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the position of a professorship in animal genetics. The future professor will be responsible for developing a leading research and teaching program in animal genetics that focuses on the identification of genes underlying important animal traits.

 

Candidates with expertise in QTL mapping and/or comparative genomics applied to important livestock species are especially encouraged to apply. The professorship's main research top­ics may include:

-                      Comparative genomic or QTL mapping approaches to identify key genes or chromosomal regions underlying important traits;

-                      Experimental approaches to understand the underlying causes of quantitative genetic varia­tion;

-                      Analyses of interactions between genes;

-                      The influence of environmental factors on gene expression.

 

The Professorship is equipped with several vacant positions, has access to high-throughput genotyping facilities and to a well-equipped field station suitable for animal phenotyping. 

 

The future professor will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or Eng­lish) and graduate level courses (English) - covering both basic and advanced animal genet­ics. 

 

Please submit your application together with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a state­ment of research and teaching interests, and the names and contact information of three possible referees to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Ralph Eichler, Raemistrasse 101, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland, no later than March 31, 2009. With a view toward in­creas­ing the number of female profes­sors, ETH Zurich specifically encourages fe­male candi­dates to apply.
