Professor of Molecular Cell Biology and Biochemistry

Descrizione

Professor of Molecular Cell Biology and Biochemistry Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): Il Dipartimento di Biologia dell'ETH di Zurigo cerca un Professore di Biologia Cellulare Molecolare e Biochimica per una cattedra a tempo indeterminato presso l'Istituto di Biochimica. Il candidato selezionato dovrà guidare un programma di ricerca indipendente di alto livello, affrontando problemi innovativi nell'intersezione tra biologia cellulare, biochimica e biofisica. Le aree di ricerca includono l'organizzazione e la dinamica cellulare, l'espressione genica e la stabilità del genoma. È richiesta una forte attitudine all'insegnamento a livello universitario e post-laurea, con corsi offerti in tedesco e inglese. È preferibile un impegno verso la diversità e l'inclusione. La scadenza per le candidature è il 31 agosto 2026. The Department of Biology ( www.biol.ethz.ch ) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned tenured professorship at the Institute of Biochemistry (IBC; www.bc.biol.ethz.ch ). The successful candidate is expected to lead an independent, world-class research programme in the area of cellular organization and dynamics, working at the interface of cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics to tackle cutting edge problems in their field. Example research areas include the spatial, temporal and biophysical organization of cells, gene expression, genome organization, genome plasticity and stability, regulation of cell growth and division, organelle function, membrane biology, membrane-less compartments, intracellular trafficking and transport, and mechanisms of quality control and cellular homeostasis. The new professor will investigate biological systems at the cell, tissue and/or (model) organism level, possibly driving the development of new technologies to probe cellular parameters. Integration of concepts from different fields to develop unified models of cellular function that go beyond correlative observations is desired. The professorship will be embedded in the Department of Biology, which provides complementing expertise in structural biology, functional genomics, systems and computational biology, tissue development and homeostasis, molecular oncology and more. The successful candidate is expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In general, at ETH Zurich undergraduate level courses are taught in German and English and graduate level courses are taught in English. ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity , and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples . Please apply online: www.facultyaffairs.ethz.ch&nbsp ; Applications should include a covering letter; a curriculum vitae; a list of publications; three statements on a) research, b) teaching, c) leadership; descriptions of the three most important achievements; and a certificate of the highest degree. Please note that the covering letter should be formally addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Joël Mesot. The closing date for applications is 31 August 2026 . Annuncio in inglese.
