The Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering (BIIE) is a non-profit research institute focused on developing translational solutions for the treatment, prevention, and diagnosis of diseases relevant to global child and adolescent health. The BIIE is currently located at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of ETH Zurich in Basel, Switzerland, utilizing its core scientific facilities such as the Single Cell Facility (SCF) for flow cytometry services. The flow cytometry instrument portfolio of the SCF currently consists of 7 sorters and 7 analyzers offering a wide range of high-end features such as spectral and image analysis-based sorting.
The BIIE is looking for an experienced flow cytometry expert to be embedded in the SCF flow cytometry team. We are seeking an individual with a proven track record in the use and maintenance of flow cytometry instrumentation who is interested in working in a diverse, international, and innovative environment. Depending on the candidate's qualifications and performance, this position may evolve into the Head of Flow Cytometry at the new BIIE site in Basel within three years.
Responsibilities: Responsibilities include all aspects of flow cytometry sorter and analyzer operation, including quality control and maintenance. Training, user support, and expert advice on experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation of results are essential parts of this role, as is the organization of logistical aspects of the service schedule.
Profile
Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art flow cytometry equipment, knowledge of quantitative cell analysis, and high-speed cell sorting are required. A good understanding of optical principles and practical skills in hardware maintenance and tuning is necessary. Previous experience in spectral analysis is essential. We will consider all technical and academic degrees, depending on the candidate's experience and skills in the field of flow cytometry.
This position requires very good communication skills in English to interact with researchers, and a commitment to adapt to the service-oriented nature of the facility to successfully support scientific research and operations at the D-BSSE and BIIE. In addition to excellent technical skills in the field of flow cytometry, you must be an excellent team player and able to adapt to a diverse working environment.
Workplace
We offer a state-of-the-art equipped work environment, colleagues who are enthusiastic about flow cytometry with a great team spirit. Our team embraces a diverse work environment and values opportunities for dynamic and creative work.
