Dear all,

It is a great pleasure to announce that

Armelle Forrer, PhD in Epidemiology

has started to work in August as a postdoctoral researcher in my research group. She is paid by my own research funds and will primarily work on some of my/our research projects. However, she will work at the SHCS data centre closely with Alexandra Scherrer. She will become Alexandra’s deputy as the head of the data centre and takes over some of Alexandra’s responsibilities. This will allow Alexandra to do more research again besides all the work she does for the data centre.

In addition, it is very important to have a deputy for the head of the data centre and that the two of them work together as a real team. The reason we came up with this solution is that the budget of the SHCS does not allow to hire a deputy of Alexandra. Given the current financial situation, I think this is a win – win situation for all of us.  

best wishes,
Huldrych Günthard
