Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Researcher – Panelised timber vaulted floors
The BRG, led by Prof. Dr Philippe Block and Dr Tom Van Mele, focuses on the assessment of masonry structures, graphical analysis and design methods, computational form finding and structural design, and innovative construction technologies. Learning from the master builders of the past, the BRG develops novel design and engineering approaches for highly efficient and expressive structural forms and proposes new and economical construction paradigms. To address the grand challenges posed by climate change, the group’s research and built prototypes strive to embody the motto “strength through geometry,” to reduce embodied greenhouse gas emissions and to utilise fewer first-use resources. To minimise construction waste and increase labour productivity, the group develops innovative, structurally informed bespoke prefabrication strategies and novel construction paradigms that employ digital fabrication.

(06) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position in Bioinformatics / Computational Genomics / Animal Genomics
Our research focuses on the genomic characterization of animal populations. We have established a comprehensive database of whole-genome sequencing variants that segregate in various pig and cattle breeds. We have access to whole-genome genotyping and imputed sequencing data of >150’000 (partially) progeny-tested animals with excellent phenotypic records for numerous complex traits. This data enables powerful genome-wide association studies. Other ongoing projects include the characterization of individual animal genomes using long-read sequencing (PacBio HiFi), the de-novo assembly of these genomes, and the development of graph-based pangenomes. Moreover, our group is involved in several international endeavours that aim at characterizing genomic diversity in farm animals such as the EU H2020 project BovReg and the Bovine Pangenome Consortium. Our group has access to ETH’s high-performance computing cluster and state-of-the-art molecular user labs equipped with short- and long-read sequencing technologies. We are committed to open and reproducible research.

(07) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position: Evolution of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes
This Postdoc project is highly interdisciplinary as it links planetary science, geodynamics, and observations of exoplanets. You will explore the evolution of Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes with a new generation of interior models. The focus is the influence of deep magma oceans on the evolution of planet atmospheres and planetary radii. How do volatiles in magma oceans affect the cooling and chemical differentiation of planets? By combining and further developing existing models, you will investigate the evolution of volatile-rich magma oceans that exist on hot rocky super-Earths and deep in the interiors of sub-Neptunes. This will also allow you to link newly discovered young TESS sub-Neptunes to the generally old population of planets. This project will impact our understanding of planet diversity and is important for the interpretation of exoplanet populations and individual planets.
Deadline : April 15, 2023.
(08) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position: Atmospheric retrieval and planet interior characterization
This Postdoc project is highly interdisciplinary as it links atmospheric sciences, planetary science, and observations of exoplanets. You will focus on the combined characterization of atmospheres & deep interiors of exoplanets using JWST data of transiting exoplanets with RV follow-up observations. This is a pioneering endeavour, as the use of spectroscopic data for the characterization of the deep interior is still very novel. This Postdoc project is a great opportunity to build a unique research profile. You are expected to bring in expertise from atmospheric retrieval and learn about deep interior physics. The exoplanet community is eager to know what we can learn from atmospheres about the deep interior of planets, and with this project, you will achieve key milestones on your way answering this question.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral position – Accelerating the roll-out of net zero pathways for the Swiss and European energy system
There is an urgent need to create sustainable and resilient value chains to support and speed up the energy transition. However, Switzerland and the EU are highly dependent on imported critical devices and raw materials – especially in strategic sectors, such as renewable energy. The project SPEED2ZERO of the joint initiative of the ETH domain aims to develop toolboxes, action plans, and technology to enable a sustainable transformation to a net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) and biodiversity-positive Switzerland. Solutions will target immediate action conducive to halving GHG emissions by 2030, developing the required infrastructure, ensuring a resilient energy system, and securing biodiversity. In the context of this project, the Reliability and Risk Engineering group will research transition pathways for the Swiss and European energy systems that are compatible with climate targets (i.e., net-zero GHG emissions by 2050) and will analyse factors that can hinder the roll-out of net zero pathways. These include global industry production capacity of renewable devices, policy-driven adoption rates, and propose measures that can accelerate the Swiss energy system transition to 2030.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral researcher in single-cell phylodynamics
The open position is in the emerging field of single-cell phylodynamics. You will work closely with Prof. Dr Tanja Stadler and other team members in the Computational Evolution group. The ultimate goal of the project is to quantify important developmental processes from single-cell data that have so far only been qualitatively described. You will quantify the rates of cell division (i.e., replication), cell apoptosis (i.e., death), and cell differentiation (i.e., transition) based on single-cell phylogenies that are estimated from single-cell lineage tracing (e.g., GESTALT, iTracer) and single-cell transcriptomic data.
