Assistenzprofessuren (Tenure Track) oder Professuren für Micro- and Nanoengineering

The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT, www.mavt.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned positions at the tenure-track assistant professor or associate/full professor level.

Micro- and nanoscale engineering and fabrication comprise a fundamental and transversal discipline in mechanical and process engineering, translating the state of the art in the micro- and nanosciences to engineer functional devices for real-world applications in industrial and clinical settings. In this context, we seek applicants with outstanding accomplishments and future potential in research and teaching related to micro- and nanoengineering in any domain related to mechanical engineering or chemical and process engineering. We particularly encourage applicants focusing on biomedical technologies for improved diagnostics or therapies; functional or smart material synthesis, integration and characterization; integrated systems; electromechanical, thermal, and fluidic devices; advanced nanomanufacturing; mechanical systems; and/or sustainable technologies. D-MAVT is committed to world-class interdisciplinary and cutting-edge research that spans from the fundamental to the applied. The candidate is expected to establish and extend exchange and interaction with academia, industry, and/or clinics on a national and international level.

Successful candidates should hold a PhD degree or equivalent in engineering or related fields, and have an outstanding international record of accomplishments in micro/nano engineering in academia or industry. Furthermore, a strong motivation and indisputable commitment to undergraduate (in German or English) and graduate (in English) student teaching and the ability to lead a research group are expected.

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities.

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
