Bioinformatician in Microbiome Research (80-100%) Zurich, fixed-term

The Institute of Microbiology at ETH Zurich invites applications for a Bioinformatician embedded in the Microbiome Research Lab. We seek a highly motivated, skilled, and organised individual to support multiple experimental and computational research groups. The successful candidate will contribute to both a collaborative research network and institute-wide activities, including data management and the maintenance of computational infrastructure and software.

Project background

The position is part of the Institute of Microbiology at ETH Zurich and closely linked to projects within the NCCR Microbiomes. The NCCR Microbiomes is a nationwide, interdisciplinary research programme, bringing together experimental and computational researchers with the aim of understanding and engineering the structure, function, and dynamics of microbiomes across diverse biological and environmental systems.

Several research groups at the Institute of Microbiology contribute to the NCCR Microbiomes. The Bioinformatician will play a central role in supporting collaborative research projects across the network through advanced data analysis, interpretation, and visualisation using reproducible computational workflows. In addition, the position supports institute-wide bioinformatics activities, including the management of data and shared computational infrastructure, enabling efficient and sustainable microbiome research.
