Join the dynamic and cooperative research group led by Prof. Maja Jagodic at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS). This opportunity allows you to contribute to interactive research fueled by relevant clinical inquiries, merging a deep molecular understanding of the mechanisms behind Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with access to some of the world's most competitive clinical resources. You'll benefit from a highly collaborative, engaged, and international research environment dedicated to exploring innovative translational ideas in precision medicine. This offers you the opportunity to conduct research at the forefront of the international field.
We are looking for a research assistant to join our research team and collaborate with PhD students, postdocs, and senior researchers on deciphering multiple sclerosis pathogenesis. While working within a multidisciplinary team, you will benefit from the close supervision of our senior bioinformaticians. Your primary research focus will be to address the molecular mechanisms underlying immune and nervous dysfunction in MS disease. You will study this by conducting in-depth analysis of various omics data types, notably the methylome and transcriptome, obtained via state-of-the-art next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies from immune cell types and cell lines. The successful candidate is expected to interact with many internal and extremal collaborators and to contribute to the efficient functioning of the unit.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who shares our passion for translational research and epigenetics and holds a Master’s degree in a relevant field.
