This postdoctoral position focuses on immunological and data-driven research in sarcoidosis within the Sarcoidosis Center of Excellence. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and evaluation of novel diagnostic tools, assessment of emerging therapeutic approaches, and identification of biomarkers and predictive models to improve patient stratification and clinical outcomes. The project builds on ongoing research involving a large, well-characterized cohort of patients with sarcoidosis, aiming to advance personalized disease management and develop tools for predicting disease course and treatment outcomes.
Tasks
- Drive and execute ongoing and planned retrospective data-analysis studies, integrating multimodal clinical and biological data to generate novel insights into the diagnosis, clinical presentation, disease course, and treatment of sarcoidosis.
- Work closely with clinical and laboratory teams to jointly define research questions, develop analytical strategies, and execute research projects.
- Contribute to prospective clinical studies and treatment trials in patients with sarcoidosis.
- Apply advanced data analysis approaches, including machine learning/artificial intelligence, to improve the prediction of disease course and treatment outcomes.
Requirements
- You hold a PhD in life sciences and have a strong background in immunology and data analysis, preferably using Python and/or R.
- You have experience integrating and analyzing large clinical and omics datasets, as well as familiarity with machine learning/artificial intelligence and outcome prediction tools.
- You are motivated to work in a translational and highly collaborative research environment that bridges university-based research, laboratory science, and hospital-based clinical practice.
- Fluency in German is an advantage but not a requirement.
Benefits
- An exciting and varied position in an innovative and open-minded research environment, with strong connections to UZH, ETH Zurich, and industry partners.
- Work as part of a highly committed, interdisciplinary team.
- Modern research infrastructure at the USZ Campus in the heart of Zurich.
- Attractive employment conditions that reflect the responsibilities of the position and provide a high degree of flexibility.
- The position is initially offered on a one-year contract, with the possibility of extension.
