Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz Eawag Vollzeit

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology).

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.

Research Assistant on trace metal distributions in surface waters (60-80%)

Trace metals act as key micronutrients, toxins, and tracers of large-scale biogeochemical cycling.

Our research targets these elements to better understand their sources and sinks in aquatic systems, their roles in shaping biological communities and biogeochemical cycling, and their potential as tools to reconstruct biogeochemical cycling throughout Earth's history.

Our research is lab and field based, and our main analytical tools are inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Our current main projects are focused on the distributions of trace metal in Arctic rivers and in testing and developing new metal and metal stable isotope proxies.


Within this context, we are looking for a scientific assistant to help in sample collection, preparation and analysis, processing of raw data and quality control assessments, and developing initial interpretations of data.

The advertised position is primarily a laboratory posi¬tion, with possibility for fieldwork as well.

Specific projects may include preparation and analysis of trace metal samples from rivers in Greenland, sampling, preparation and analysis of metal samples from Swiss lakes, and development of automatic sample processing procedures.


Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. Please include a letter of motivation (1 page max.) explaining why you think you fit this position well, a CV, and the names and contact information of two references.

Eawag is a modern employer and offers an excellent working environment where staff can contribute their strengths, experience and ways of thinking. We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diversity and inclusion. The compatibility of career and family is of central importance to us.

For further information, please contact Dr David Janssen.
