(11) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in population genomics 80 %

Similarities between genetic and linguistic evolution were first pointed out by Charles Darwin. Within the NCCR project, we used human population genomic data at a global scale to explore the extent of matches and mismatches between genes and languages, with the database GeLaTo (GEnes and LAnguage TOgether) (Barbieri et al. PNAS 2023), and we also explored local case studies in Asia and in South America (Matsumae et al. Science Advance 2021Arango-Isaza et al. Curr Biol 2023). With the new Postdoctoral Researcher position, we will expand our team on the genetic studies of human and plant diversity with new projects, testing hypothesis on gene-language coevolution, and looking at case studies of language families spreading along with farmers and crop species (farming/language dispersal hypothesis). The position is in the group of Prof. Dr. Kentaro Shimizu (Main PI, Department Director, group website)) in collaboration with other groups.

(12) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc Projet PARES 100 %

« PARES : Gaston Paris, des archives aux réseaux » est un projet binational entre la Suisse et la France fondé sur la coopération entre universités et institutions patrimoniales publiques. Il est financé par le FNS et l’ANR pour une durée de quatre ans et dirigé par Ursula Bähler (Université de Zurich) et Muriel Jorge (Université Paris Cité).
PARES entend donner une nouvelle impulsion à la recherche sur l’histoire de la philologie romane à partir des archives de G. Paris (1839-1903), figure majeure de l’établissement et de l’évolution de la discipline en France. Aujourd’hui dispersées dans des fonds isolés, peu exploitables et peu exploitées, il s’agit de réunir ces archives et de les rendre accessibles sur un portail numérique, de manière centralisée et en respectant les principes FAIR. Le portail comprend une base de données, élaborée en France, qui permet d’interroger l’ensemble des documents du corpus et de visualiser leurs relations sous différentes formes. Il inclut aussi des transcriptions et des éditions de documents, dont les aspects techniques sont réalisés en Suisse. Cette partie s’appuie sur le projet « Proto4DigEd : Prototyping Workflows for Digital Editions » financé par swissuniversities et dirigé par U. Bähler.

(14) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: PostDoc Position in Personalized Visual Analytics: Human Preference Elicitation for Ranking-Based Multi-Criteria Decision Support 100 %

Multi-criteria decision support through item ranking is an understudied research direction. Current solutions exhibit considerable limitations, primarily due to their inability to meet the multi-faceted nature of human decision-making. Choosing between thousands of relevant items is a common task, where people are left alone with the need to express and balance multiple desirable preferences at once. Item rankings are a popular and universal approach to structuring unorganized item collections by multiple criteria at the same time. In interactive solutions, people can express multiple preferences, used by algorithms to compute human-centered and personal rankings. Visual Analytics (VA) is a field of research that supports complex human decision-making tasks by bringing together human intellectuality with the computational power of algorithms in effective human-in-the-loop approaches.
In this project, we will demonstrate how cutting-edge VA principles can be transferred to item ranking, to overcome remaining challenges, demonstrate effective and efficient interactive ranking creation solutions, and empower broad audiences. Limitations of ranking systems mainly include their incompatibility for the elicitation of item- and attribute-based preferences, insufficient handling of user-introduced uncertainty, inadequate guidance for engaging with large item sets, lacking interaction histories, inefficient human-centric feedback loops, or a lack of explanations and transparency of ranking algorithms, thus creating a disconnect between the technology and nuanced user needs. Finally, interactive ranking creation does not yet make use of interfaces for eliciting implicit user preferences, e.g., in textual form using large language models.

(17) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Researcher – image analysis/bioinformatics – Spatio-temporal genome and oncogene organization in cancer 80 – 100 %

The Surdez lab at the University of Zurich is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in image analysis and bioinformatics. This position offers an exciting opportunity to visualize and decipher the spatio-temporal organization of the genome and oncogenes in cancer.
Join our dynamic team, which focuses on aggressive pediatric bone cancers, particularly on Ewing sarcoma. In a recent study, we demonstrated how the STAG2 mutation, prevalent in this cancer, alters the formation of chromatin loops, resulting in increased invasive properties of mutated cells (Surdez et al. 2021, Cancer Cell). Currently, we are leveraging super-resolution microscopy and innovative molecular technologies to decipher and perturb these mechanisms in live cancer cell models.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will be responsible for analyzing confocal and super-resolution microscopy data related to spatio-temporal genome and oncogene regulation. The role also involves comparing Hi-ChIP data with imaging data and developing computational tools to analyze and visualize chromatin conformation and oncogene regulation. Working closely with biologists, you will utilize cutting-edge computational approaches to model and decipher these mechanisms at the real-time scale.
