[Equal] ETH Zürich: Ausschreibung: Professur/Assistenzprofessur (TT) für Tiergenetik

[EqualOpportunity (SL)]

Professor / Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Animal Genetics



The Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences (www.agrl.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for a full professor or an assistant professor (tenure track) of animal genetics. The future colleague 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 colleague will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and graduate level courses (English) - covering both basic and advanced animal genetics. The appointment will be at a level commensurate with experience.



Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. The initial appointment is for four years with the possibility of renewal for an additional two-year period and promotion to a permanent position.



Please submit your application together with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications and a statement of present and future research and teaching interests to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Ralph Eichler, Raemistrasse 101, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland, (or via e-mail as one single PDF to faculty-recruiting at sl.ethz.ch) no later than November 30, 2010. With a view toward increasing the number of female professors, ETH Zurich specifically encourages female candidates to apply.
