Mission The CMi is a technological platform equipped with a significant park of micro- and nano-fabrication equipment. A multidisciplinary team of 25 people is responsible for ensuring its operation and evolution. The platform welcomes annually more than 650 users, mainly PhD students from EPFL, as well as postdocs, students, internal and external researchers, as well as industrialists, who all carry out their own processes themselves. The challenges are multiple, whether it is to offer processes of the highest level, meeting the needs of...
PhD students in Switzerland are employed researchers, typically earning CHF 47,000–50,000 per year at ETH/EPFL and cantonal universities. Salaries vary slightly by canton and institution but are among the highest in the world for doctoral researchers.
English is the working language in most STEM departments at Swiss universities. German, French or Italian may be expected for teaching or administrative roles depending on the linguistic region. ETH Zurich and EPFL operate largely in English.
Universities routinely sponsor work permits for international researchers. EU/EFTA citizens benefit from free movement. Non-EU nationals typically receive an L (short-term) or B (residence) permit, with processing handled by the employing institution.
The has one opening for PhD. position on the topic of stone conservation, in particular the mechanisms of contour scaling. This PhD is part of the collaborative project “Spatially graded 3D printing to elucidate contour scaling of building stones”. It aims at elucidating the mechanism of contour scaling on building stone, establishing on-site monitoring methods and testing possible treatments for it. The selected student will collaborate with another PhD candidate funded in the scheme and employed at the Chair for Digital Building Technologies in the Department of Architecture. This project…
The Atmospheric Chemistry group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science (IAC) – ETH Zurich invites applications for a 4-year PhD position on “Investigating oxidized nitrogen in the troposphere”. The Atmospheric Chemistry group at ETH conducts research exploring the processes controlling tropospheric composition (gases and particles) and their intersection with global change. Research makes extensive use of global modeling tools (GEOS-Chem and CESM) and analysis of large observational datasets. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted into the troposphere contribute to the formation of fine…
