Professor of Disease Genetics / Epigenetics



The Department of Biology (www.biol.ethz.ch) at ETH Zürich invites applications for a position of Associate or Full Professor in the area of Disease Genetics / Epigenetics.

Candidates are expected to build a strong and independent research program in molecular genetics or epigenetics aimed at studying the relationship between the genome / epigenome and mammalian organ function in health and disease. In his or her hypothesis-driven research the successful applicant should combine molecular / biochemical approaches and advanced genetics and functional genomics technologies with functional studies based on viral vectors, RNA interference, transgenesis or knockout technology using the mouse as a model system. He or she should complement the research in the area of Molecular Health Sciences performed at the Department of Biology, with a strong focus on the understanding of disease mechanisms and on the development of the scientific foundations for personalized medicine. Candidates integrating a translational research program are particularly welcome.

The new Professor will be a member of the Department of Biology of ETH Zurich and strengthen the research focus in Molecular Health Sciences. ETH Zurich offers state-of-the art technology platforms and outstanding opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary research programs. Involvement in the teaching programs in Biology and Molecular Health Sciences is expected. She or he will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and graduate level courses (English).
