Offer Description
The Laboratory for Biological Engineering (Prof. Randall J Platt) of the ETH Zurich in Basel, Switzerland develops genome engineering technologies and applies them to a range of fundamental and disease-focused areas. To advance these efforts, the Platt group is recruiting a full-time (100%) PhD Student to develop and apply in vivo functional genomic methods.
Project background
Investigating gene function using direct in vivo screening is revolutionising the way we study brain biology . We have previously developed AAV-based molecular methods for direct in vivo CRISPR screening and are continuing to develop novel tools to be able to interrogate new aspects of brain biology.
Job description
We are looking for a highly motivated and collaborative researcher to be integrated in a multidisciplinary team of scientists. The candidate will develop novel molecular methods and apply them to ask fundamental questions about brain development and function in the context of health and disease. The candidate will be passionate about science, technology, collaboration, and communication.
