Job description


The Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich is an integral part of SystemX.ch, the Swiss initiative in Systems Biology. It is located in Basel, a European hotspot for biomedical research, in close proximity of the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, and the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. ETH Zurich is a major research university, offering an excellent environment for innovative and collaborative research across disciplines. 

Job tasks

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship and a Post-Doc position, within the Computational Biology Group at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich.
The group focuses on the development of detailed, predictive models for cellular signaling networks with a view to develop a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and evolution of cellular signaling. Projects are carried out in close collaboration with experimental groups so that quantitative data is available and model predictions can be tested in experiments. 

Profile requirements

Applicants should have a strong background in mathematical and computational modeling or statistics, and demonstrated experience in nonlinear dynamics and numerical calculations. PhD candidates should hold or expect to obtain an MSc degree or diploma in a numerate discipline (e.g. mathematics, physics, statistics, computational biology, or related areas).
