Two full-time postdoc positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Zuzana Keckesova. Our lab aims to identify and characterize new tumor suppressor pathways in human cells and translating this new knowledge into therapeutic use. We are looking for enthusiastic, independent and highly-motivated postdoctoral associates with a background in cancer biology, molecular biology, metabolism, or translational research. Good English speaking skills and experience with tissue culture are necessary. Institute is multi-national and managed in English language. We offer:

• Good salary
• Five weeks holiday
• Health insurance and full benefits package incl. contribution to pension, culture, and sport.

The position will be initially for 1 year with the possibility of extending to 5 years or more. The starting date is between Feb 2025 until Sept 2025. Interested candidates should submit their cover letter and CV including names and contact information of two references to

We offer a four-year funded PhD on a wide range of topics in Chromosome Biology, Gene Regulation and Computational Modelling for which we aim to recruit outstanding, national and international PhD students, and provide them with excellent research training in a vibrant scientific environment. The main priorities of this program are the effective mentoring of PhD students and ensuring that all candidates have the support and resources they need to perform high-quality research. PhD students at the NKI enjoy access to top-level research facilities and receive training in science and career related aspects. Lecture series and weekly seminars provide PhD students with immediate access to many of the world’s most renowned scientists. The NKI with approximately 60 research groups is a fertile ground for stimulating encounters and a good spirit – not least socially.

Our team, “Polarity Division and Morphogenesis”, addresses emerging questions in the field of epithelial tissue development focusing on both genetic and mechanic regulations. In this context, we are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to explore the mechanisms of cell division, mechano-sensing and morphogenesis in Drosophila using state-of-the art imaging methods, optogenetics, spatial transcriptomics and force measurements.

The Department of Biology at the University of Bern announces a vacancy for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor to lead the Division of Conservation Biology within the Institute of Ecology and Evolution (IEE). Applications are sought from individuals with an outstanding research record in Conservation Biology. We are searching for candidates whose research contributes to managing, preserving, and restoring biodiversity. Candidates with a strong conceptual and empirical research program at the interface of applied and basic research are particularly encouraged to apply.

The Department of Biology at the University of Bern announces a vacancy for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor to lead a new Division of Mathematical or Computational Ecology within the Institute of Ecology and Evolution (IEE). Applications are sought from individuals with an outstanding research record in Mathematical or Computational Ecology. We are searching for candidates with a strong background in both classical and modern ecological theories, who are keen on using theory to address outstanding ecological questions. Candidates who develop theory and models to match empirical systems are particularly encouraged to apply.

Postdoc position in computational cancer biology ERC funded, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in collaboration with European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg and Postdoc position in cancer biology ERC funded, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg. We are looking for postdoctoral scientists to work on chromosome instability in space and time and understand the early stages of cancer development, using data from single-cell multiome and spatial profiling in the brain and the colon. The project is funded through the ERC "Unstable Genome".
