Eawag conducts research, education and expert consulting to achieve the dual goals of meeting direct human needs for water and maintaining the function and integrity of aquatic ecosystems.

PostDoc position on «Exchange platforms between science and politics»


The appointment is part of a project taking place under the ETH Board funded research initiative "Evidence-based dialogue on trade-offs in wicked societal problems (ENGAGE)".

The project aims to establish a dialogue and exchange platform at the national level that brings together scientists from different disciplines, public authorities, interest groups and associations, political parties and members of parliament.

The focus is on topics that are complex, rapidly evolving, contain many uncertainties, and require coordinated cooperation at the international and cross-sectoral level (e.g. climate change, energy transition, biodiversity loss, invasive species, etc.). Dealing with these challenges also involves considering the inherent conflicts between different societal goals, needs and interests. The research program is embedded in a broad collaboration between different institutions of the ETH Domain.
