Rodent 3R Platform Specialist
80%-100%, Zurich, fixed-term
We are looking for an experienced scientist to co-manage the operational side of the rodent 3R-Hub affiliated with our lab, and lead our efforts to implement reduce-refine-replace (3R) principles. In this position you will further develop and refine existing behavior testing setups, design and build equipment for new behavior setups, and conduct experiments to optimize the behavior tests. You will be able to solve engineering and data integration problems at the interface between behavior testing and in vivo brain recordings. You will be responsible for updating our state-of-the-art behavior analysis pipelines based on the latest developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning. You will train and guide collaborators during experimental design and data analysis. The position is currently limited to two years, but part of your job will be to strategically support our effort to develop it into a permanent position through careful alignment of our 3R-efforts with ETH strategies.
Project background
The mission of the ETH Zurich 3R Hub is to drive measurable and positive change in scientific animal research by promoting the principles of Replace, Reduce, and Refine. The 3R Hub aims to consolidate ongoing 3R research efforts across ETH Zurich. Through collaborative research, education, and the exploration of alternative methods, we strive to minimize the impact on animals in experimental settings, whilst maximizing the information gained from each animal used in research. The hub has recently been launched, and the demand for collaborations is already very high. Thus, we are looking for someone to join the current head of the 3R Hub as a co-leader, to manage ongoing projects and develop and implement a vision for how to exapand and permanently integrate the hub within the ETH ecosystem.
