The ETH Zurich Bioprocess Laboratory is looking for a highly motivated, talented, and qualified PhD student with a background (MSc, diploma, or equivalent) in microbiology, molecular biology or biochemical engineering. The PhD student will be part of a EuroCORES project in Synthetic Biology

The Faculty of Geosciences and Environment at the University of Lausanne invites applications for a full professor position in geomorphology. The search is for a candidate in the general area of earth surface processes. A specific focus on fluvial geomorphology would be an asset. The successful candidate is expected to be complementary to the existing center of competence in mountain geomorphology at the Institute of Geography.
Responsibilities include teaching on the bachelor, master and PhD levels, as well as building up and leading a vigorous, internationally recognized research program, which is capable of attracting external funding.
Appointment is on the full professor level, but it is possible, in an exceptional case, on a tenure-track position, leading to a full professor status within 5-6 years. The University of Lausanne is an equal opportunity employer. Applications from women are particularly encouraged.

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. and have at least one first author publication in press or published in a major international journal. Expertise in yeast genetics and/or in quantitative Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) would represent an advantage.

Please note: Only candidates currently residing in Europe will be considered for this position.

Applications are invited for a studentship in the field of biomaterials surfaces leading to the degree of M.Phil/PhD. The studentship will be based between at the Implant Bioperformance Programme, AO Research Institute, Davos, Switzerland and the Centre of Cell Engineering, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK.
The objective of this studentship is to develop a method for incorporating nano-topography into thermoplastic polymer surfaces such as PEEK, and investigate the potential for these surfaces to allow cells to differentiate towards an osteoblast-phenotype in vitro with the aim of these surfaces being used orthopaedic implant applications.

Multiphase flow in porous media is important in many branches of science and engineering. In particular, predictions of flow through geological formations are crucial in many environmental and energy-related applications, such as water resources management and protection, nuclear waste disposal, or CO2 sequestration.
The purpose of this research project is to improve the understanding of the physical processes that take place at the pore scale and to ameliorate the reliability of conceptual and numerical models that describe the flow at larger scales. The project will include theoretical, numerical and experimental activities. In this context, the PhD candidate will focus on the investigation of pore-scale processes, which will include numerical simulations, conceptual modeling and scaling. He will address the question of the validity of the continuum description of porous media, and will search for alternative models.

The department of condensed matter physics (DPMC) and MaNEP invite applications for several PhD positions in the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
MaNEP is a broad network of Swiss universities focusing its activities on the fundamental and applied research on novel materials with promising electronic properties. The DPMC is MaNEP’s leading house, and has a long tradition in the studies of materials with unconventional behavior. Researchers in the DPMC can rely on several top-quality experimental setups (high magnetic field magnetotransport, transport under pressure, specific heat, optical spectroscopy, scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy) as well as crystal and thin-film growth facilities.
