Jobbeschreibung

Laboratory technician in synapse-type specific proteome studies 50-100%

Starting upon mutual agreement

How does life emerge from molecules and cells? This is the central question that motivates us. With curiosity and passion, we investigate the entire spectrum ranging from the atom to the organism. The

Biozentrum of the University of Basel

is one of the world's leading life sciences institutes. With 32 groups and 500 employees, we are a dynamic and international research community that has spawned many fundamental discoveries in biology and medicine as well as several Nobel Laureates. Become part of our community!

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated laboratory technician for an third-party funded project led by Marc van Oostrum in the laboratory of

Peter Scheiffele

.

Your position

In an interdisciplinary project we will investigate the molecular trajectories of synaptic proteomes in neurodegenerative disease models (see

van Oostrum et. Al. 2023 Cell

). The project integrates molecular neurobiology with systems neuroscience and combines state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies with fluorescence activated sorting and in vivo labelling of defined synaptic populations. We are looking for a highly motivated laboratory technician that is excited to develop new technologies in order to drive biology.

Your profile

Degree in biology (Bachelor's/Master's) or training as a lab assistant/technician with a strong interest in interdisciplinary neurobiology across scales from molecules to circuits. The project involves stereotactic surgery, genome editing methods and primary cell culture. Experience in any of these domains is benefical. The position is funded and salary is according to institutional guidelines

We offer you

A project at the frontier of science to solve fundamental questions in neurobiology. You will have the unique opportunity to join a small team with close guidance by the SNF Ambizione project grantee Marc van Oostrum while at the same time being embedded in an internationally leading group of dynamic and collaborative scientists, Phd students, postdocs and technicians. The Biozentrum provides a highly stimulating collaborative research environment with a fantastic infrastructure in a brand-new building, as well as

state-of-the-art technology platforms

for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.

Basel is an international city with people from 150 nations. Located on the border where three countries meet – Switzerland, Germany and France – it is Europe's most important life sciences hub. Basel provides a high standard of living and a rich cultural atmosphere.

The position is initially for 2 years. Salary and benefits according to University of Basel standards
