25 Postdoctoral Fellowship at ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Your main responsibilities will include investigating data engineering for digital pathways of neurorehabilitation, creating interoperable and user-friendly clinical information warehousing solutions with envisioned big data analysis. These solutions must be scalable, secure, and compliant with ethical and regulatory requirements. Additionally, you will develop user-facing digital data acquisition tools and rehabilitation technology that integrate with the centralized warehousing solution in electronic health record (EHR) systems. It is crucial that your solution offers flexibility and high performance for large-scale analyses. Once completed, the solution will be extended to remote rehabilitation settings, enabling comprehensive data analysis across the entire continuum of care. In summary, as the first hire for this team, you will contribute to groundbreaking research, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and create innovative solutions to improve healthcare outcomes.

The project will be carried out by an XR Team: a postdoc, a doctoral student and an XR technical expert over four years. The XR Team is responsible for conducting cutting-edge research and developing methods and tools with the goal of delivering a flexible plug-and-play toolbox that can be applied in three exemplary projects for inspection, assembly (including dis- and re-assembly), and operations. The toolbox should be developed as an extensible XR platform such that other researchers within the AEC and ETH community can adapt it to create their own XR pipelines. The aim is not only to push the research in XR technology but also to lower the barrier of entry, democratizing the use of XR in AEC and further extending the impact of this lighthouse project. Being domain- and material-agnostic, the XR team will provide unique leverage to the large body of ongoing research in sustainable construction, across disciplines, specializations, materials, and structural systems.

You will be responsible for developing and executing research projects within the context of low-temperature and organic geochemistry, with a focus on carbon source and sink processes. In particular, you will investigate the relationships between sediment mineralogy and organic carbon in modern river sediments, and you will use cutting-edge stable-isotope methods to determine how these minerals capture information on climate, hydrology, and weathering. Beyond this, there will be opportunities to develop additional projects: depending on the background and interests of the successful applicant, there is flexibility regarding the specific analyses to be performed and on which samples (i.e., lake cores, floodplain cores, soil cores, modern sediments, etc.). The exact details of the research plan will be determined by the successful applicant in combination with the principal investigators.

You will be responsible for developing and executing research projects within the context of low-temperature geochemistry, with a focus on oxygen stable isotopes. In particular, you will use cutting-edge methods to investigate the triple and clumped oxygen-isotope signatures of O2 produced by abiotic processes (e.g., water radiolysis) and novel dark oxygen microbial metabolisms (together with the Kraft Lab, SDU). In addition to laboratory analyses, you will participate in field campaigns across Europe and North America to collect groundwater samples for geochemistry and microbiology. Beyond this, there will be opportunities to develop additional projects: depending on the background and interests of the successful applicant, there is flexibility regarding the specific directions of these additional projects. This position is integral to the research team, which includes 3 postdoctoral researchers across three groups. You will therefore lead these tasks but will be supported by all involved PIs. This multidisciplinary team offers the opportunity to learn, develop, and apply scientific skills beyond traditional isotope geochemistry!

The new postdoc will run a research project investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in the expression and inheritance of complex traits resulting from early life experiences. The project will focus on factors and mechanisms that modify the genome’s and chromatin’s activity in relation to higher-order brain functions and behavior across generations in mice. The main goals are to identify the processes that link experiences in early life, particularly traumatic stress, to the regulatory genome and chromatin structure and functions in the brain and assess their causal implication in induced phenotypes. You will join a pluridisciplinary team at the interface between epigenetics, neuroscience, reproductive biology, and bioinformatics using approaches based on environmentally- and genetically-modified mouse models. Close collaboration with team members working on the epigenome and chromatin in germ cells will be desired. 

In collaboration with  Prof. Mohr’s research group we focus on materials and process modeling based on physically motivated models as well as machine learning approaches. Our projects are carried out in close cooperation with industrial partners, so that in addition to theoretical investigations, the focus is also on the application of the research work. In this context, the development and implementation of models in the corresponding software, the planning and execution of appropriate experiments and the validation of the results form the main components of the studies.

We are looking for an exceptional postdoctoral researcher to perform innovative, translational research in the area of Tissue Engineering for Nerve Regeneration. You will be part of a recently funded Bridge Discovery grant and part of a team including bioengineers, clinicians and biologists.

As a Post-Doctoral Researcher in this Module, you will manage and conduct clinical trials, coordinate resources and generally supervise research staff. In addition, you will be responsible to support the overall coordination of Module 3. This work will be performed in collaboration with our research partners at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), industrial partners at ARTICARES, and Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) in Singapore.

To support learning, models based on the subjacent physics, at least partially known, will be incorporated in the assessment loo, with a particular focus on the assimilation of advanced model order reduction techniques, in both their intrusive and non-intrusive formulations. The primary advisor for the SEC-based researcher position will be Prof. Eleni Chatzi (SEC-ETHZ), with Prof. Francisco Chinesta (SNRS) as co-supervisor. The hired researcher will work with the CNRS-based Postdoctoral position, under the primary supervision of Prof. F. Chinesta. The earliest starting date is April 1st, 2023. Please note that the employment will be at the Singapore-ETH Centre.

You will be responsible for the architecting, designing, prototyping, and testing of RF/mm-Wave antennas and scalable antenna arrays on chip, in package, and on PCB substrate. You will be responsible for performing antenna-IC packaging and building measurement setups. You will also be responsible for the project meetings, reporting, and proposal writing. You will also expected to facilitate the teaching and occasionally deliver lectures for RF/wireless classes in English at ETH Zurich. With its cutting-edge research nature, this position also involves close collaborations with researchers in Switzerland, the EU, and the US.

Applicants should hold a PhD degree with a strong background in biology/biochemistry and an interest in plant sciences. Experience in molecular biology and protein biochemistry is required, together with a strong motivation to learn and develop new techniques and methods. Experience in any of the following would also be advantageous: bioinformatics, fluorescence/electron microscopy for plant cell imaging, metabolomic and proteomic analyses. Candidates should be excited about science and be motivated to perform research of the highest quality. They should be highly organized and capable of working both independently and within the team. Post-doctoral scientists at ETH Zurich contribute a modest fraction of their time to undergraduate teaching, principally through the supervision of undergraduate practical courses and masters projects. Candidates should have good interpersonal and communication skills. Fluency in English is essential (both spoken and written). ETH Zurich is an Equal Opportunities employer and provides provides career development opportunities to post-docs.
