ETH Zurich is a world-leading university dedicated to advancing science, engineering, and technology. The Single Cell
Facility (SCF) is a central research and service platform at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering
(D-BSSE) of the ETH with location in Basel. It is a departmental multi-user facility providing access to a high-end
instrument portfolio for optical single cell analysis such as light microscopy and flow cytometry technology. The SCF
is part of the D-BSSE's commitment to elucidate the design principles of cells in stochastic environments and their
exploitation for network design. The SCF staff works closely with the Lab Automation Facility (LAF) team, which
develops and maintains complex robotic setups integrated with readout technologies such as high content imaging for
experimental workflows in biology and biochemistry.Please enter text here
Project background
The SCF's centralized instrument pool is accompanied by expert service provided by staff who offer instrument
training, hardware and software maintenance, instrument operator service, advice on sample preparation, assay design
data analysis, and data management. As a member of the SCF, you will perform flow cytometry analysis and cell sorts,
instrument maintenance, and user training related to a wide variety of biology and biotechnology projects. The flow
cytometry instrument portfolio of the SCF currently consists of 7 sorters and 7 analyzers offering a wide range of
high-end features such as spectral and image analysis-based sorting.
We are looking for an experienced flow cytometry expert with a proven track record in the use and maintenance of flow
cytometry instrumentation who is interested in working in a diverse, international and innovative environment.
