Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD, and Postdoc Positions in Computational Biology, Metabolomics, and Antimicrobial Discovery at University of Basel University of Basel in Switzerland

The Zampieri Lab at the University of Basel, led by Professor Mattia Zampieri, is seeking motivated students and researchers for Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD, and postdoctoral positions. The lab specializes in computational biology, metabolomics, systems biology, and antimicrobial discovery, offering a unique opportunity to work with unpublished, large-scale metabolomics datasets. Research projects focus on monitoring chemical and genetic perturbations in systems such as tuberculosis, E. coli, and cancer cells, providing hands-on experience with cutting-edge data and impactful biological questions.

Current openings include Bachelor’s and Master’s projects at the interface of experimental and computational biology, as well as funded PhD and postdoctoral positions in quantitative and systems biology. The lab encourages applications from highly motivated individuals with backgrounds in biology, biochemistry, computational analysis, or related fields. Applicants should possess strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset. For PhD and postdoc roles, relevant degrees and research experience are required.

Funding is available for PhD and postdoctoral positions, with application through the University of Basel Jobportal. Bachelor’s and Master’s projects are typically for academic credit or internships, with funding details not explicitly stated. The application deadline for all positions is December 28, 2025. Interested candidates should visit the Zampieri Lab website, review open positions, and follow the application instructions provided.
