The laboratory of Neuroepigenetics at the Medical Faculty of UZH and the Department of Health Science and Technology (D-HEST) of ETHZ is seeking students for a Masters project in Bioinformatics.
We are looking for a highly motivated student interested in the analyses of multi-omics data using state-of-the-art pipelines and algorithms. The project is at the interface between biology and computation and aims to identify the mechanisms underlying epigenetic inheritance in mammals. It is based on data from DNA methylome, transcriptome, chromatin structure, proteome, metabolome in mouse models and/or humans. The student will be embedded in a team of bioinformaticians and biologists who tightly collaborate to solve a major question about heredity important for biology, medicine and evolution.
Programming in R/Python and knowledge of UNIX-like platform is required. Knowledge of Git and some experience in analyzing NGS data is advantageous, but not necessary. Applicants with research experience are particularly encouraged to apply. The position is available now, for a minimum of 6 months. Applicants from biology, bioinformatics, mathematics, computer science, physics or any relevant interdisciplinary background are welcome.
Applications including a detailed CV and a letter of motivation should be sent to Isabelle Mansuy (mansuy@hifo.uzh.ch) or Deepak Tanwar (tanwar@hifo.uzh.ch). Further details and project outline can be obtained by email or phone contact. Deepak Tanwar: + 41 44 635 33 49.
