Doctoral researcher
vor 1 Monat
The Mobiliar Lab for Analytics at ETH Zurich develops and tests digital interactions using emerging technologies and artificial intelligence. As a joint initiative of ETH Zurich and a Swiss insurer, we focus upon how to create Responsible Digital Interactions by leveraging the benefits of emerging technologies balanced against their potential dark sides. Our research at the intersection of data, behavioral, and computer science draws on data from real-world and experimental settings. Examples of our previous projects can be found by visiting our website here.
Project backgroundIn the upcoming project, we intend to design a digital intervention that strengthens individuals’ mental resilience. To do so, we will apply insights from the theory of embodied cognition and focus on the interplay between cognitive load, stress, and mental well-being. The digital intervention will employ both established (smartphone, smartwatch) and novel technologies (Mixed Reality/LLM chatbots) and be developed based on our findings from laboratory and field settings. Doctoral researchers on the project will have the chance to shape their own research questions.
Job descriptionWe are currently seeking a doctoral researcher with a data science background to work alongside two other highly motivated and talented doctoral researchers in computer science and behavioural science at our Lab. The candidates will apply their respective expertise on a series of shared research activities, with the final aim of developing and launching a digital intervention.

- Developing and testing digital intervention(s) using novel technologies
- Collaborating with experts and industry partners
- Attending international conferences to present your work
- Publishing in top research journals
- Communicating and engaging with the public
- Teaching support and supervision under the umbrella of the Chair of Technology Marketing, D-MTEC
Essential requirements:
- Degree in data science, statistics, applied mathematics, or related fields
- Proficiency in developing and deploying machine learning models (e.g., using Python, R)
- Experience in data wrangling and feature engineering
- Experience in model evaluation techniques
- Excellent written and oral communication skills using English
- Ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team
- Strong interest in technology
Desirable requirements:
- Familiarity with natural language processing (NLP) techniques and LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT)
