About this position

EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) is advertising a postdoctoral position in the Laboratory of Elisa Oricchio at the Swiss Institute of Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) on the EPFL main campus in Switzerland.

The project sits at the intersection of cancer biology, genetics, and epigenetics, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor initiation, tumor evolution, and responses to therapy. The lab studies how cancer-associated genomic alterations reshape the epigenome, including chromatin 3D structure, and how these changes affect crosstalk between cancer cells and immune cells.

Applicants should have a strong background in the relevant fields and a record of scientific excellence with high-quality publications. Experience with animal models, 3D culture systems, and/or computational analyses is considered an advantage. The position offers an opportunity to expand ongoing research directions, and candidates are encouraged to apply for individual fellowships.

Funding is according to EPFL standards; the contract is for one year and renewable. The post starts on 2027-01-01. Applications must be submitted as a single PDF containing a cover letter, detailed CV with publication list, and contact details for at least two referees.
