The Zampieri Lab at the University of Basel is offering a PhD position in Systems Biology and Cancer Metabolism. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in understanding how metabolic programs drive cancer metastasis. The research project integrates in vivo mouse models, CRISPR-engineered cancer cell lines, pooled CRISPR screens, high-throughput metabolomics, and computational data analysis within a systems biology framework. The lab provides a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and strong mentorship, situated in one of Europe’s leading life science hubs.

Applicants should possess a Master’s degree in a relevant field and have hands-on experience with mouse models, including LTK-1 certification. A strong interest in cancer metabolism and quantitative approaches is essential. Experience with CRISPR, metabolomics, and computational biology is highly valued. The position offers the chance to work at the intersection of biology, medical science, and computational analysis, contributing to cutting-edge research in cancer biology.

While specific funding details are not provided, PhD positions at the University of Basel are typically funded. Interested candidates must submit their applications through the official recruiting system of the University of Basel. Only applications submitted via this system will be considered.
