Open positions

Research Associate in bioinformatics support

The NCCR Microbiomes is looking for a bioinformatician to support the research groups in the Department of Fundamental Microbiology at the University of Lausanne. The successful candidate will (i) establish and implement bioinformatics workflows to analyze microbiome sequencing datasets and provide open data accessibility, (ii) support and guide bioinformatics analysis and data management of NCCR-related projects across research groups, (iii) collaborate with other NCCR Microbiomes groups in development of microbiome data analysis, (iv) carry out their own research in the context of microbiome research.

The selected individual will be integrated in the research group of Prof. Philipp Engel, but will further work in close collaboration with the NCCR data management staff and other NCCR bioinformaticians (e.g., at ETH Zurich).
