PhD position summary/title: PhD Student Position in Cognitive and Behavioral Decision Research

At CBDR (led by Prof. Dr. Renato Frey) we aim to contribute to a better understanding of how people make decisions in the modern world full of risk and uncertainty. To this end we study the psychological mechanisms (e.g., cognitive, social, affective processes) underlying people’s risk perceptions and risk-taking behaviors. We employ various empirical methods including data collection in real-life contexts (e.g., by means of app-based measurements) and field experiments (e.g., to test behavioral interventions and the effects of different forms of risk communication). Moreover, we make use of the latest data-science methods for cognitive and statistical modeling, and we strongly endorse open and reproducible research practices. Last but not least, we are committed to a culture of diversity and inclusion in our various activities as a research group.

(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: Ph.D. Student in Work & Organisational Psychology

In your Ph.D. project, you will perform field and lab studies to investigate how teams successfully deal with adverse events. For example, teams in extreme environments typically must manage pressing task demands (i.e., act) but simultaneously process emerging information, re-evaluate and make strategic decisions about the immediate future (i.e., think). You will investigate how teams can potentially counteract the adverse effects of high-pressure situations on team functioning. In your work, you’ll research, among others, concepts like team reflexivity, leader inclusiveness or team decision making.

(06) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in industrial and organizational psychology

In our research we use a variety of scientific methods. We observe teams both in practice and in experimental settings, using quantitative and qualitative research methods. Our research combines perspectives from applied psychology, management and organizational behavior. In your doctoral project you will conduct field and laboratory studies to investigate how teams successfully deal with adverse events. Teams in extreme situations usually have to perform manual actions while absorbing and processing new information. You will examine how teams can counteract the negative effects of high pressure. In your work, you will examine, among other things, concepts such as team reflexivity, inclusive leadership or decision-making in the team.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Influencer Marketing

The PhD position is supported by the interdisciplinary project “How individual-level choices drive collective consumer behavior in social networks”, recently approved by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
Many people equate marketing with advertising. We view it instead as the science of initiating large-scale change in consumer behavior and society. In this light, the position will address the fundamental question of how to maximize the success of new products and behaviors via influencer marketing campaigns, with a focus on sustainable behaviors.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Social Network Dynamics

How to best initiate large-scale behavioral change in social networks? How to integrate machine learning, numeric simulations, and/or behavioral experiments to improve our understanding of and ability to manage social change? What do these methods reveal about the impact of network structure, interventions, and algorithms on collective social behavior? These and related ambitious questions will be the focus of the SNSF project that supports the position. The candidate will mostly use machine learning, social network analysis, and agent-based simulations to address them. The candidate’s research will not only advance theoretical understanding but also derive its implications for interventions aimed at social change, which is relevant to solving some of the most pressing societal challenges.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student

Neuroscience research is among the single largest animal research fields, with around 1.3 million used each year in the EU alone. In Switzerland, more than a quarter of experimental animal used in recent years were in neuroscience, and many undergoing experimental procedures of high severity. Despite the use of these numerous experimental animals, the overall success rate in therapy development for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s dementia and stroke is low compared to other fields. Bridging this translational gap is critical to advancing both science and the 3Rs of replacement, reduction, and refinement. Although there are different reasons for this gap, weak or inappropriate design of preclinical studies has been flagged as key driver. For instance, the selection of animal disease models is often made based on the resources available to that researcher rather than which model provides the best representation of the specific pathophysiological process under study. Yet there is a lack of a comprehensive resource to assist preclinical neuroscientists make informed decisions on experimental parameters during study planning. This costs many experimental animals with only modest translational relevance. The advent of complex cell culture models, such as 3D organoids or microphysiological systems, has brought prospects to partly replace animal experiments for drug testing. However, no systematic curation of the application of such models has demonstrated their translational value in comparison with respective animal models.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate

The Clinic for Zoo Animals, Exotic Pets and Wildlife of the Vetsuisse Faculty at the University of Zurich (UZH) seeks to fill the position of 1 PhD candidate (4 years) for a study on the long term effects of weaning calves on a specific diet. Whereas short-term effects of different diets on calf development have been documented in the past, the long-term effects (‘nutritional programming’) of a specific diet on digestive physiology and susceptibility to health problems have not been studied much in ruminants so far. The project is led by Prof. Marcus Clauss (UZH) in cooperation with Prof. Pawel Gorka (University of Agriculture in Krakow), and consists of at least one full year of experimental animal work (severity grade 1 on a scale from 0 to 3) with calves growing into cattle at the AgroVet Strickhof Facilities of the UZH and the ETH Zurich. There will be intensive interaction with the ETH Zurich’s Prof. of Animal Nutrition, Mutian Niu. The project is funded by the National Science Centre (Poland) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), and has the potential to change feeding recommendations for newborn ruminants.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in applied evolutionary biology

We are seeking a PhD student to join us (Prof. Anna Lindholm and Dr. Andri Manser in a research project at the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies assessing the potential of a naturally occurring selfish genetic element (called t haplotype) as a tool to control invasive mouse pests on islands where they harm endemic wildlife. The t haplotype is a supergene in house mice with two seemingly ideal characteristics for pest control. First, males that carry two copies of the gene (t/t homozygotes) are completely sterile. Second, males that carry only one copy of the t (+/t heterozygotes) pass the gene on to 95% of their offspring rather than the 50% expected under Mendelian inheritance (gene drive), allowing the genetic propagation of the sterile t in a population. Preliminary work suggests that sterile t releases could offer a powerful, versatile, and humane tool to eradicate target populations due to a lack of fertile males. The aim of the project is to assess the potential of the sterile t as a pest control tool from a wide range of methodological angles.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Spatiotemporal drivers of metastasis

The group studies bone sarcoma and in particular Ewing sarcoma, the second most frequent bone tumor of childhood and adolescence. This cancer is characterized by a pathognomonic chromosomal translocation and few additional recurrent mutations. Among those, we identified STAG2 mutation as the most frequent one and highlighted its association with poor prognosis (Tirode et al., 2014, Cancer Discov). We recently showed how STAG2 mutation alters the generation of chromatin loops and conducts to increased invasive/metastatic properties of these mutated Ewing sarcoma cells (Surdez et al. 2021, Cancer Cell) and how STAG2 mutation favors the transformation of mesenchymal stem cells into Ewing sarcoma (Sole et al. 2021, Cancer Res).
