Assistant Professorship in Molecular Life Sciences at the University of Zurich

The Department of Molecular Life Sciences (DMLS) at the University of Zurich invites ERC Starting Grant applicants to join as Assistant Professors.

We are particularly interested in talented scientists that will pursue ambitious, rigorous, and challenging research questions in relevant thematic areas, including but not restricted to – fundamental cell and mechanical biology, multi-omics characterization of developing model systems, or novel computational approaches to multi-scale data integration and inference.

Research at DMLS focuses on investigating fundamental principles that regulate the activity of biological systems across scales, from single cells to multicellular organisms and entire ecosystems. By combining experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches, the department aims to uncover the molecular and cellular principles that govern complex biological phenomena. Because of its intrinsically diverse nature, the DMLS offers an inclusive and collaborative environment fostering interdisciplinarity and innovation.
