About you
  • You have completed an education as a lab technician/assistant or hold a Master’s or Doctorate degree in Biology or equivalent.
  • You have hands-on experience with mice and relevant accreditations (LTK/FELASA). Experience with neuroscience techniques, such as stereotaxic surgeries, behavioral experimentation, and histological processing, is highly desirable.
  • You are open to learning new techniques and skills and apply them to a high standard.
  • You are reliable, can demonstrate a strong work ethic and have high levels of motivation.
  • You are comfortable working independently while adapting to changing needs.
  • You are well-organized and can demonstrate strong planning skills.
  • You can communicate clearly and effectively in English.
What we offer
  • A competitive compensation and benefit package.
  • Access to training in both traditional and cutting-edge neuroscience and mouse-related techniques, providing you with valuable skills for advancing your future career.
  • A dynamic, international and multidisciplinary environment that strives to be inclusive to people from diverse backgrounds.
  • A friendly, supportive and competent team.
Please submit your application electronically at www.fmi.ch/opening. Be sure to include:
  • A letter of motivation
  • Your research experience
