______________________________________Postdoctoral Researcher – image analysis/bioinformatics - Spatio-temporal genome and oncogene organization in cancer 80 - 100 %
Sarcoma and Anesthetics Research Department, Balgrist University Hospital
This position offers an exciting opportunity to visualize and decipher the spatio-temporal organization of the genome and oncogenes in cancer. Join our dynamic team, which focuses on aggressive pediatric bone cancers, particularly on Ewing sarcoma.
In a recent study, we demonstrated how the STAG2 mutation, prevalent in this cancer, alters the formation of chromatin loops, resulting in increased invasive properties of mutated cells (Surdez et al. 2021, Cancer Cell). Currently, we are leveraging super-resolution microscopy and innovative molecular technologies to decipher and perturb these mechanisms in live cancer cell models.
As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will be responsible for analyzing confocal and super-resolution microscopy data related to spatio-temporal genome and oncogene regulation. The role also involves comparing Hi-ChIP data with imaging data and developing computational tools to analyze and visualize chromatin conformation and oncogene regulation. Working closely with biologists, you will utilize cutting-edge computational approaches to model and decipher these mechanisms at the real-time scale.

______________________________________Postdoctoral Researcher in Biomedical Research 100 %
Institute of Anatomy, Universitat Zurich
We recently pioneered new tools for targeted genomic integration to generate custom transgenic lines and endogenously tag proteins of interest (Naert, et al., BioRxiv, 2024). We will employ these tools in combination with advanced imaging techniques and analysis tools (Naert, et al., Development, 2021) to explore the in vivo functions of proteins related to congenital diseases, including genetic kidney diseases and ciliopathies.
Your main objective will be to conduct innovative research into the molecular mechanisms of genetic diseases employing novel models and genome engineering in Xenopus. You will use key technologies, such as light-sheet imaging, live imaging, automated image analysis, CRISPR knockout or integration in Xenopus embryos. You are welcome to contribute your own ideas and actively shape the project.
You will work in collaboration with PhD candidates and supervise junior group members or Master students. You will also be introduced to and participate in the teaching activities of the Institute (i.e. Practical Laboratory and Histology courses) to gain academic teaching credentials.

Postdoc Position in Modelling at Different Scales of Life
University of Amsterdam
We are inviting applications for a post-doctoral research position focused on understanding how the microbiome influences early childhood health. This project explores the complex interplay of microbiome, culture, socioeconomics, behaviour, and environment during the first 1000 days of life—and how these factors impact the risk of obesity and dental caries in vulnerable populations. By uncovering these mechanisms, we aim to reduce health disparities from an early age.
Application deadline: 31 August 2025
