Beschreibung

EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide.

The EPFL employs more than 6,000 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions:
education, research and innovation.

The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 16,000 people, including over 12,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.

Deplancke lab (Laboratory of Systems Biology and Genetics) at the Faculty of Life Sciences is currently seeking a Laboratory Technician to strengthen its team.
The central research focus of the Laboratory of Systems Biology and Genetics (LSBG) is to understand genome organization, regulation, and variation and is broadly partitioned according to three major research pillars:

Adipo
in the "Adipo" pillar, we are characterizing the regulatory mechanisms driving mesenchymal stromal cell heterogeneity and function in adipose biology and other metabolically relevant processes.

-
Geno

In the "Geno" pillar, we are examining how variation in the regulatory code affects molecular and organismal diversity.

-
Techno - n the "Techo" pillar, we are developing novel microfluidic, high-throughput sequencing, single cell omic, and computational approaches, which are used to address biological questions in the other two pillars.
