The Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ) is a joint interdisciplinary
research and training center of the ETH Zurich (ETH) and the University of
Zurich (UZH). We are seeking to fill the following position:
Bioinformatics Expert Next Generation Sequencing
to strengthen the bioinformatics team by facilitating and supporting the
analysis of ultra-high throughput sequencing data generated in the various
research projects. The successful candidate will be involved in managing and
processing large-scale DNA sequencing data generated by Roche/454 and
ABI SOLiD technologies. In addition, the expert will also participate in building
customized data analysis pipelines and in the scientific development of new
approaches for large-scale sequence data analysis.
The ideal candidate has a university degree in computer science,
bioinformatics or a related field. Candidates with a PhD and publications are
welcome to apply. Familiarity with the management and analysis of largescale
genomics datasets will be considered an advantage. In particular
experience with sequencing data (e.g. Illumina/454/SOLiD/Sanger based
sequence-assembly or -mapping) or other functional genomics data (e.g.
microarray data, ChIP data) will be a plus. Basic skills with the LINUX/UNIX
operating system are essential. Furthermore, a strong background in at least
one scripting or programming language (Perl, Python, Java, C++) is
mandatory. Experience in R/Bioconductor and/or web programming will be
considered an advantage.
The ability to work independently is a prerequisite, as is the ability to
effectively interact with the research and technical staff of the center and of
external research groups in a team-oriented manner. Advanced knowledge of
English is essential, as this is the working language of the center. Knowledge
of German is helpful but not essential.
Interested candidates should send a full CV, including a list of publications
and the names of at least two referees until March 31, 2009 to
Dr. Ralph Schlapbach
