Postdoctoral Researcher - Experimental Hematology and Functional Genomics 80-100%

The Boettcher Lab, led by Prof. Dr. med. Boettcher, is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Department of Medical Oncology and Hematology, University Hospital Zurich and University of Zurich, affiliated with the Comprehensive Cancer Center Zurich (CCCZ).

Our laboratory investigates fundamental molecular mechanisms of normal and malignant hematopoiesis, with a particular focus on hematopoietic stem cell biology, clonal hematopoiesis, and leukemogenesis. We combine cutting-edge molecular and cellular technologies, functional genomics, and preclinical disease models to address biologically and clinically relevant questions.

The successful candidate will take a leading role in an innovative research project investigating molecular mechanisms of hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction, with the long-term goal of identifying novel therapeutic opportunities for patients with inherited bone marrow failure.

Das Universitätsspital Zürich ist eines der grössten Spitäler in der Schweiz. Unsere über 8'600 Mitarbeitenden und rund 700 Auszubildende setzen sich täglich für das Wohl unserer Patient:innen ein.
