[ETH Diversity] Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Methods and Technologies for Molecular and Cellular Systems Engineering

[Schuler Susanne (Prs)]

Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Methods and Technologies for Molecular
and Cellular Systems Engineering

 

The Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (www.bsse.ethz.ch
<http://www.bsse.ethz.ch> ) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the
above-mentioned position. The Department is located in Basel, in the heart
of the BioValley area, providing excellent opportunities for collaboration
within this strong life science research community at the academic, clinical
and industrial levels. The Department’s main research focus is the
understanding, modelling, and engineering of biological systems, which
generates numerous opportunities for interactions across the biomedical
research landscape.

 

The Department is seeking outstanding candidates developing innovative
methods to advance biosystems science and engineering. Building upon current
achievements in the field of living therapies, such as molecular, gene and
cell therapies and tissue regeneration, the next generation of these
therapeutic modalities will include the capacity to precisely manipulate
individual cells, tissues, organs, and ultimately whole organisms. Such
manipulation will be performed in a dynamic fashion in response to real-time
molecular and cellular cues and will possibly lead to fully personalized
treatment strategies.

 

The successful candidate will have expertise in key areas of this
multidisciplinary field, such as systems and synthetic biology, material
science, molecular systems engineering, or micro- and nanotechnology.
Methods of interest include directed evolution and protein engineering,
precise genome editing, targeting and delivery of bioactive compounds,
assembly or disassembly of cellular systems and tissue, or development of
responsive biomaterials and scaffolds and biophysical tools for
micro-/nanotechnology. Furthermore, expertise in techniques for quantitative
imaging such as optical and fluorescence imaging and label-free imaging are
of interest. We particularly encourage applications from candidates
developing methods with an explicit promise of innovative solutions for
molecular and cellular medicine, and precision or personalized health.
Methods that help to rationally assess and manipulate molecular and cellular
behaviour are of special interest, for example the targeted delivery of
biomolecules to cells and tissue.

 

At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching and the ability to
lead a research group are expected. The future assistant professor will
teach in their area of expertise at the graduate level (courses in English).

 

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of
younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent
to that of other top international universities.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a
statement of future research and teaching interests, a description of the
leadership philosophy, and a description of the three most important
achievements, and the names of three references. The letter of application
should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Joël Mesot.
The closing date for applications is 8 January 2023. ETH Zurich is an equal
opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is
responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
