Postdoc: UBasel.ComparativeSingleCellGenomics A fully funded 4-year Postdoc position is available in the lab of Patrick Tschopp at the University of Basel, Switzerland, study the molecular and tissue-scale dynamics during the embryonic formation of the vertebrate skeleton and compare it across different vertebrate species with distinct habitats. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD degree in Bioinformatics or a related field. Candidates are expected to have a strong background in evolutionary biology and/or comparative functional genomics. Additional experiences in single cell functional genomics analyses, statistics and computational data analyses are a plus, as is an interest in comparative developmental (EvoDevo) questions. We offer a dynamic and interactive research environment with state-of-the art research facilities, good research funding and internationally competitive salaries. The Tschopp lab (www.evolution.unibas.ch/tschopp/research/) studies the gene regulatory mechanisms of cell type specification and evolution in vertebrates.
