JOBS

PhD position – University of Geneva

A PhD position is currently available in applied metabolomics for a research endeavor funded by the Swiss Centre for Applied Human Toxicology (SCAHT). The goal of this PhD project is to investigate the toxicological effects of drug combination therapies on the metabolic pathways of different tumor types and cell models. For this purpose, the PhD student will learn and apply both cell culture techniques and metabolomic approaches to understand how cells adapt their metabolism when exposed to different toxicant combinations at low doses.

Postdoctoral position – Food Toxicant Laboratory, McGill University, Montreal

A postdoctoral position is available in food chemical fingerprinting at the Food Toxicant Laboratory of the McGill University in Montreal. The objective of the project is to compare different chemometric approaches for the authentication (floral origin, adulteration) of honey using LC-MS based fingerprints. This position is focused on food fraud detection and involves the developpement of Python based workflows to deploy classification models using a dataset of more than 300 LCMS fingerprints from honey samples obtained on different instruments.
