Yeast Cell Biologist position in Basel, Swizerland
Key words: Yeast (S. cerevisiae) genetics, physiology, cell biology and biochemistry
Evolva is an early/mid stage biotech and drug discovery company using its proprietary platform technology to produce small molecular weight, active compounds. We rely on genetic engineering of both yeast and E. coli, to create novel "genetic chemistry" for in-house screening in pharmaceutically relevant, cell based assays.
To help in the further development of our core technologies we now wish to employ an experienced yeast cell biologist, with special qualifications and interest in the areas of yeast genetics and physiology, including cell cycle progression, mitotic and meiotic division, genome stability, homologous recombination, DNA double strand break repair etc.
Preferably you have a PhD in life science plus some years of post doctoral work, maybe even industrial experience. In addition to a solid theoretic foundation we expect you to have hands-on experience with standard procedures for handling end engineering yeast, since a major part of the job will involve working in the wet lab.
We are currently around 30 people working in modern facilities in Basel, Switzerland. We are hard working but, nonetheless, the atmosphere is relaxed and flexible. We appreciate good collaboration skills and a sense of humor.
For more information please contact Michael Naesby at Evolva: +41 61 485 2016. If you wish to send an application, please direct it to elodief@evolva.com with the subject "yeast biologist".
