[ETH Diversity] Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Computational Medical Genomics at ETH Zurich

[Schuler Susanne (Prs)]

Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Computational Medical Genomics

 

The Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE)
(www.bsse.ethz.ch <http://www.bsse.ethz.ch> ) at ETH Zurich invites
applications for the above-mentioned position. D-BSSE is located in Basel,
providing excellent opportunities for collaboration within this strong life
science research community at the academic, clinical and pharmaceutical
industry levels. The main research focus of the Department is the
understanding, modeling, and engineering of systems for biomedical
applications. The professorship will also be embedded within the newly
established Botnar Research Centre for Child Health (BRCCH) (www.brc.ch
<http://www.brc.ch> ), which aims to provide innovative and translational
solutions for child and adolescent health. Collaborations within the medical
research communities in Basel and Zurich are highly encouraged. 

 

The future Assistant Professor is expected to develop a strong and visible
research program in the area of methods and tools development in
computational biology and bioinformatics for medical applications. A
candidate capable of advancing statistical and computational modeling of
genomics data and translating models, methods, and findings into clinical
applications is sought. Possible research topics include, but are not
limited to, computational genomics and multi-omics data integration, human
genomics and rare diseases, medical genomics in clinical trials, and
computational genomics for advanced therapies. The candidate should have a
Ph.D. degree in Computational Biology, Medical Genomics, Computational
Science, Data Science, or related disciplines, and demonstrated evidence of
the ability to develop novel statistical and machine learning methods for
genomic datasets. Further, a strong publication record reflecting
innovative, interdisciplinary, translational, and collaborative approaches
to important problems related to medical genomics is expected. She or he
should demonstrate a strong interest in clinical applications and a clear
ambition to pursue research that is directly relevant to childhood health
and medicine. At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching and
the ability to lead a research group are expected. 

 

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.

 

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values
diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
