You will be responsible for our part in the recently approved Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Open project NEWmRNA, which we will conduct over the next 4 years with our partners in Zurich, Konstanz, Leuven, Luxemburg, and Paris. The overall goal is to engineer new ways on how to produce novel mRNA molecules for applications in vaccination, medical treatment and agriculture.
We offer a supportive environment in a well-functioning team, excellent training in state-of-the-art enzyme and genetic engineering and lab-scale fermentation. You will learn how to shape and drive your scientific project and how to communicate about it while having access to the cutting edge facilities of the D-BSSE and experience the busy life of an buzzing international department in the heart of Europe's life science capital (https://twitter.com/ETH_BSSE ). D-BSSE is an equal opportunity department and you will have all the benefit from becoming an employee of ETH. The project starts on March 1st , 2021.
