(07) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position for exploring the usage of neuromorphic technologies in precision Farming

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic PhD student to work on a project funded by the Digital Society Initiative of Zurich regarding the use of neuromorphic technologies in the field of precision farming.

The project is broad enough to encompass several possible research directions, according to the interests and experience of the PhD student. It involves utilizing both digital and mixed analog-digital neuromorphic technologies to optimize greenhouse agriculture management. The idea is to proceed on two parallel levels:

  • Exploiting analog technologies developed in the NCS group for the integration of sensing, actuation, and management (primarily of water and nutrients) on a small scale in greenhouse cultivation in an extremely low-power manner.
  • Leveraging digital neuromorphic technologies (such as Loihi or implementations on RISC-V) for monitoring and optimizing greenhouse conditions. Ideally, by the end of the project, there should be communication and integration between these two levels.

PhD position summary/title: PhD opportunity in Business Administration with a focus on organizational behavior and specifically, emotions and emotional intelligence

Our world is changing profoundly, with implications for how people live and work. These changes, as diverse and multi-faceted as they are, have one aspect in common: they elicit emotions in people (Frijda, 2007). These emotions, in turn, can help people prepare for and succeed in a changing world, but they can also impede progress, become a burden, derail people, and deteriorate their health. Thus, a more nuanced understanding of emotions is urgently needed. We focus on how emotions unfold at work, what abilities people need to effectively deal well with emotions (such as emotional intelligence), how emotions are affected by interpersonal processes (such as leadership), and what organizational structures and cultures are conducive to the beneficial effects of emotions. As a member of our team, you will focus on emotions and emotional intelligence at work at part of your PhD studies.

PhD position summary/title: PhD opportunity in Business Administration with a focus on leader self-disclosure of flaws

Today, leaders are encouraged to be open about their personal flaws (i.e., negative personal characteristics) at work. For example, an award-winning Harvard Business Review article advises business leaders to “show us who they are–warts and all,” like admitting being irritable, disorganized, or shy. Supporting this idea, self-disclosure theory has long suggested that revealing aspects of one’s self to others builds stronger connections with them. Similarly, the literature on authenticity suggests that leaders who are more open and transparent are more effective. These examples from science and practice all suggest that leaders who let their guard down and openly show their more negative sides can be more successful.
However, this optimistic view takes a one-size-fits-all approach that neglects aspects of human diversity, including leader attributes like gender, age, and race. This research project thus examines how leader diversity influences self-disclosure of flaws in the workplace. For members of social groups that are already underrepresented in leadership positions and face stereotypes in leadership (e.g., women), being open about certain personal flaws could present a risk for leaders rather than an advantage (e.g., constituting a social norm violation that prompts backlash).
The proposed research has meaningful societal implications as leadership is becoming more diverse and more personal. The insights from this research inform dialogues among practitioners and the public that, right now, reinforce the notion that leaders should be their true selves at work. Results will help to unpack whether openly disclosing personal flaws at work is a privilege that only some leaders may enjoy. Already, women and other underrepresented groups are disadvantaged when it comes to the pursuit of leadership positions. Trends that encourage leaders to be open about personal flaws may risk exacerbating these differences – or alternatively, may hold promise in ameliorating them.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Student Position: Empowering AI to Explore the Space of Reasons

Human belief systems are made up of networks of claims that are connected by logical relationships of entailment and contradiction – the so-called space of reasons. Recent developments in natural language processing and the philosophy of language have opened a unique window of opportunity to explore this space of reasons. Project AIR seizes this opportunity, aiming to develop a novel hybrid method in natural language inference to build a data-grounded representation of this space of reasons. Following a radically open approach and building on aesthetic insights, the project will develop an interface to allow the general public to interact with (and thereby keep updated) our representation of the space of reasons. The specific PhD research topic will be determined based on the candidate’s interests and expertise, in consultation with the supervisory team.
