We are looking for a motivated candidate for temporary part time or full time (70-100% for 2 months) help in the plant molecular biology laboratory. Ideally, you have basic knowledge of molecular biology and have taken practical courses in this field. Any previous work experience in molecular biology would be an asset.

Your work would include, but is not limited to:
Characterisation of transgenic plants which includes infecting leaves with fungal isolates, determination of resistance phenotypes, plant DNA extractions, Southern blotting and specific PCR (also quantitative PCR) for gene detection.

You will be carefully introduced to the experiments and would be expected to be independent for the further repetitions or similar experiments. You should be able to communicate efficiently in English. Expected start falls between mid June-beginning of July (this can be negotiated).

Please send your application and CV detailing relevant experimental experience to:
Dr. Navreet K. Bhullar
Institute of Plant Biology
University of Zurich
e-mail: nsohal@botinst.uzh.ch

Further information is available from Dr. Navreet K. Bhullar or Prof. Beat Keller (bkeller@botinst.uzh.ch).

The Career Chats series, an initiative of the Life Science Zurich Biotechnology Network (LSZBN), continues with new events for 2009. It is, therefore, our great pleasure to invite you to our next event:

• 27th of May 2009, 17:00
• UZH Irchel, room 03-G-85
• Dr. Sabine Flückiger, Clinical Operations Manager, Amgen Switzerland AG

will be talking about clinical development and clinical operations management, one of the most important and challenging steps during drug development.

For more details about the CV of Dr. Sabine Flückiger please visit our website.
As usual, the talk will be followed by an apero to allow people to interact with the speaker.
The talk will be of interest to master and graduate students.

Im Blockkurs „Snow Ecology“ GEO 808 (3 ECTS-Punkte) vom 27. Juli bis 31. Juli 2009 sind noch Plätze frei. Dieser Kurs kann von Biologiestudierenden als Wahlmodul belegt werden.

Anmeldung bis zum 31. Mai.
