The Faculty of Science of the University of Zurich is seeking to fill
the position of an

Assistant Professor in Statistical Genomics

We are searching for individuals with an excellent research record in
statistical genomics, including - but not limited to - research on
whole-genome association studies, population genomics, identification
of somatic mutations in disease, and the analysis of ultra
highthroughput sequencing (UHTS) data in human or other model systems.
A proven research record in complex genome-scale data analysis, as
well as in the development of statistical or computational methods to
analyze such data, is essential. The successful candidate will have
demonstrated a keen interest in advancing biological knowledge through
his or her research, and be highly interactive and open to
collaboration. He or she will be expected to establish an independent
research group within the University Research Priority Program Systems
Biology/ Functional Genomics (www.sysbio.uzh.ch), and will have access
to state-of-the-art research facilities provided by the University,
and by the Functional Genomics Center Zurich (www.fgcz.uzh.ch), a
technology platform for UHTS, transcriptomics, proteomics, and
metabolomics. There are excellent opportunities for interactions with
other groups of the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich, as well
as with the Swiss Systems Biology Initiative (SystemsX.ch), and the
Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics (SIB).

This six-year non-tenure track assistant professorship carries limited
teaching responsibilities (in English or German) and includes an
attractive start-up package and significant support for running
operations. Applications, including detailed curriculum vitae,
publications list, short statement of research and teaching interests,
and the names and addresses of three academic referees should be
addressed to

Prof. Michael Hengartner
Dean of the Faculty of Science
Winterthurerstrasse 190
8057 Zurich, Switzerland

and submitted as a single PDF file to jobs using mnf.uzh.ch .

For further information, please contact Prof. J. Jiricny at jiricny using imcr.uzh.ch. The application deadline is June 15, 2010.

The University of Zurich is an equal opportunity employer.
Applications from women candidates are particularly encouraged.
