Postdoctoral researcher in Metabolomics of Amazonia's Useful Plants 70 %

Our Department of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany houses modern molecular and ecological labs, an herbarium comprising 3,000,000 plant specimens (United Herbaria of UZH and ETH, the 15th largest herbarium in the world), and a Botanical Garden with 8,000 species. The mission of the Department is to “increase the knowledge of plant diversity, the processes and patterns of plant evolution, the relationships between plants and other organisms and aspects of plant conservation.” The Department of Chemistry, in turn, has state-of-the-art instruments for screening plant metabolomes, computational facilities with databases of natural products, and structure elucidation software. The University of Zurich has a broad research coverage of organismal and molecular biology. The city of Zurich offers excellent quality of life and attractive surroundings for outdoor sports.

A Postdoctoral position in my group at the Department of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, University of Zurich, is available from August 1st 2025. The position is for one year and can be extended for another year after a positive evaluation.
