Switzerland: Post-doctoral position in Arabidopsis Network Modeling at ETH Zurich

Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to apply state-of-the-art modeling approaches to phenotypic and molecular data acquired in the context of the AGRON-OMICS integrated project (www.agron-omics.eu), a large European consortium focusing on the global characterization of Arabidopsis leaf growth. The molecular data consist of transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics profiling data from Arabidopsis leaves at different developmental stages. Modeling includes stoichiometric network analyses and qualitative approaches to analyze the dynamical properties of molecular interaction networks and to explain quantitative growth phenotypes.

During the last few years, the Gruissem lab has assembled databases for information on Arabidopsis proteins (AtProteome) and transcripts Genevestigator®) and worked on the integration of these datasets (e.g., Zimmermann et al., Trends Plant Sci 10: 407, 2005; Baerenfaller et al., Science 320: 938, 2008). The successful candidate will benefit from collaborations with colleagues in a new EU FP7 project (TiMet) to model the integration of circadian clock and metabolic pathway regulation, as well as in the MetaNetX project, a SystemsX.ch funded project constructing genome-scale metabolic networks.


Profile requirements


The candidate must have a strong interest in integrative biology. She/he should have a solid foundation in biology, bioinformatics and mathematics and needs to document practical experience in modeling. Applicants need to have published at least one first-author paper in an international journal. The position will be available beginning March 2010, for two years.
