Postdoctoral position in multiplexed single-cell RNAseq-based antibody discovery

Lead a biomedical microfluidics project that uses multiplexed single-cell transcriptomics to discover therapeutic antibodies. Work includes optimizing sequencing workflows, sorting cells by flow cytometry, preparing sequencing libraries, analyzing data and designing experiments with microfluidics and bioinformatics colleagues. The Laboratory of Biomedical Microfluidics connects technology development at EPFL with translational research at the AGORA cancer centre. The full-time fixed-term appointment is for one year with possible renewal.

Training in single-cell biology, next-generation sequencing or antibody discovery; practical single-cell analysis, RNAseq and flow-cytometry skills, with knowledge of cell biology and biochemistry. Microfluidics experience is useful. Apply online with a cover letter of up to two pages and a combined PDF containing CV/publications, research statement of up to three pages and three referees.
