PhDstudent
The Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF) arose as a department of the foundation Swiss Research Institutes for High Altitude Climate and Medicine Davos (SFI) in 1988. SIAF is an affiliated institute of the University of Zurich since 1996 and member of the Life Science Zurich Graduate School since 2007, a joint post graduate education program of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University of Zurich. The research activities at SIAF are focused on basic research in the field of allergies and asthma to develop approaches for new preventive and curative treatments for patients. Human research has been pursued at the front level with a main emphasis given on patient-relevant research. SIAF has a large impact in the field of allergies and asthma with more than 1’540 publications and 73’000 citations to its publications. SIAF organizes the international World Immune Regulation Meeting (WIRM) every year in Davos, which is one of the most important meetings in its area in the world.
We are looking for an enthusiastic
PhD Student to join Prof. Christoph Messner’s lab in Davos. The successful candidate will be part of the newly
established Precision Proteomics Center at the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF)
in Davos, which is associated with the University of Zurich.
At the Precision Proteomics Center, we develop and apply cutting edge MS based technologies and
analyse clinical samples (body fluids, tissues) as well as cells. We aim to identify new biomarkers
and disease mechanisms that contribute to the development of the next generation of personalized
treatments. The group has a strong technical expertise in high-throughput proteomics and the analysis
of large datasets.
We encourage applicants with an experimental background as well as with an computational background
to apply.
