Be part of our future! Your positionHigh-throughput drug screening has traditionally relied on 2D cell culture systems, which often fail to capture the structural and metabolic complexity of in vivo patient tumors. This project aims to overcome that limitation by extending our high-throughput metabolic fingerprinting platform into 3D cancer models such as spheroids and organoids. By combining untargeted metabolomics, high-content imaging, and computational modelling, we will systematically compare how 320 small molecules reshape metabolism in both 2D and 3D environments. The resulting dataset will reveal which drug-induced metabolic programs are shared between dimensional contexts and which emerge uniquely in physiologically relevant 3D systems. Ultimately, this work will generate a high-impact resource that improves mechanistic drug profiling and informs model selection across cancer research and drug discovery.In line with our and Uni Basel values (https://www.unibas.ch/en/Research/Values-Ethics/Diversity.html), we are committed to sustain and promote an inclusive culture, ensure equal opportunities and value diversity and respect in our working and learning environment.We are seeking a highly motivated 100% Research Intern to support the development, benchmarking, and large-scale profiling of 3D cancer models within our multidisciplinary team.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Marketing (Two Project Options) - 80% employment gradeStart date: February to April 2026The Marketing Group at the University of Basel invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position with Prof. C. Miguel Brendl. This is a new position andcomplements another postdoctoral opening recently advertised in our group. Candidates may apply to both positions.Your positionThis is an 80% employment contract for initially two years; additional compensation may be available and can be discussed with shortlisted candidates. The post-doc's role is project-focused, contributing primarily to one of the following projects:Project A – Synthetic Data for Theory-Driven Behavioral ResearchThis project investigates how large language models (LLMs) produce synthetic responses to psychological experiments and how these compare with human data. Within the scope of a given behavioral domain, we design theoretically guided prompting strategies and study when LLM and human responses converge or diverge. The project requires an interest in how psychological theory can improve synthetic data and in deepening our understanding of when and why LLM-generated responses approximate human behavior. The project involves a collaboration between behavioral and computer scientists. The ideal candidate has some knowledge in both areas, and the specific behavioral domain is open to discussion.Project B – Understanding and Countering MisinformationThis project investigates how emotions shape people's belief in true and false claims. We have previously observed that emotional states can causally influence belief formation and that emotional interventions can reduce belief in false information beyond purely logical arguments. This project will involve designing behavioral experiments, conducting online field studies, and theoretically developing possible mechanisms involved in belief updating. We also examine consequences of these beliefs, such as sharing on social media.Your responsibilitiesConduct high-quality research as a co-author within one of the two projects described aboveDevelop new ideas that advance the project's aimsContribute to grant proposal developmentEngage constructively with colleagues in ways that support the project's progressTeaching responsibilities of no more than 20%, including:grading short-essay assignmentspreparing multiple-choice questions for an introductory course, partly depending on your background in marketing or in behavioral sciencesupervising bachelor's and master's theses on topics you define that are appropriate for students in marketingYour profileWe welcome applications from candidates who will have completed their PhD by the start date. Relevant fields include behavioral marketing, psychology, experimental economics, quantitative marketing, or computer science. For Project A, experience with natural language processing and computational methods is advantageous, as well as knowledge of a behavioral science; for Project B, beyond experience with behavioral experiments, experience with online field methods is useful. For both projects, skills in statistical data analyses are important.You enjoy engaging with ideas in depth and are motivated by understanding concepts rather than simply completing tasks. You are willing to learn a literature carefully, develop explanations, and pursue conceptual issues that matter for theory and study design. You take initiative when encountering a gap in your knowledge and appreciate open, collaborative exchange.We offer youA two-year contract at 80% employment grade with the possibility of a third and fourth year contingent on performance.Opportunities for additional compensation beyond the 80% employment grade.Strong interdisciplinary links to psychology and decision sciences.Mentoring from Prof. Brendl on how to write manuscripts that meet the standards of premier journals in marketing and psychology.A strong placement record of former students and postdocs at leading international business schools (see Professor Brendl's CV online).An environment that values careful thinking, conceptual depth, and open discussion.

PhD position in Physics-Inspired AI for Drug Design100% / Available: February 2026Neural network models have transformed many areas of life sciences, including protein structure prediction and molecular generation. However, due to limited high-quality data, purely data-driven AI models often lack the generalizability required to reliably model protein–ligand interactions, as recently demonstrated by our group (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-63947-5).Our research therefore focuses on advancing next-generation drug design methodologies by integrating physicochemical principles directly into deep neural network approaches. Representative publications from our group include:https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jcim.2c01436https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jcim.1c01438https://icml-compbio.github.io/2023/papers/WCBICML2023_paper159.pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1038/s42004-020-0261-xYour positionA fully funded PhD position is available in the Computational Pharmacy group at the University of Basel. The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing research on the development of novel physics-guided AI algorithms for drug design, integrating physics-based modeling with state-of-the-art deep learning methods.

PhD fellowship in Conservation Genetics(100%) / March 1, 2026, or negotiableThe group of Plant Ecology and Evolution, Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Basel, Switzerland (https://duw.unibas.ch/en/ecoevo/), is looking for a PhD student in the field of Conservation Genetics.Your positionNew computational and analytical tools in population genetics allow to estimate both contemporary and past effective population sizes. With these in hands, the project aims to verify how well reported dynamics of decline in rare plant species align with inferred trajectories of effective population size. Conversely, the project will also address whether habitat and species protection have had a beneficial impact, by slowing down or even stopping species' decline when measured in term of effective population size. Should this not be the case, the role of mutation accumulation may be investigated. Practical work involves collecting of plant material, wet lab work, bioinformatics, population genetic analysis, and growing plants to assess mutation accumulation.Your profileWe are looking for highly motivated applicants with a master's degree in evolutionary biology, population genetics, or conservation genetics. In addition to an interest in evolutionary and conservation biology, the candidate should be committed to: doing field work, wet-lab work, learning about bioinformatics, including R and shell programing, and analyzing data using population genetics tools and theories. Apart, the candidate should have good self-organization, be solution-oriented, and have good spoken and written English. Having a driver's license is not a necessity but will help with field work.We offer youThe fellowship is for up to 4 years. You will have the opportunity to enroll in the PhD Program in Plant Sciences (http://www.plantsciences.uzh.ch/en/teaching/phdplantscience.html) of the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center (PSC).
