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.

The Department of Environmental Toxicology (Utox) has an opening for a

PostDoc position in computational in vitro fish toxicology


In a collaborative project of Eawag and Utrecht University, we aim to develop and promote a socio-technical framework for toxicity assessment, employing different permanent fish cell lines.

Alone or in combination with computational models, these can inform about toxicity mechanisms and outcomes, ultimately allowing prediction of short
- and long-term impacts of chemical toxicity to fish. To accelerate the acceptance and implementation of our framework, we will take regulatory routines and procedures, as well as the industrial innovation practices, into account. This "

Fish Invitrome" project is embedded within the Swiss National Research Programme 79 (NRP79) "Advancing 3R - Animals, Research and Society".

We are looking for a Postdoctoral researcher who is keen to:

  • Develop a modular framework that combines in vitro testing and computational modelling for animal-free prediction of chemical toxicity to fish.
  • Work together with stakeholders and social scientists to facilitate broader uptake of the Fish Invitrome
  • Work closely with two PhD students and other team members to integrate newly gained cell linebased toxicological knowledge into the modular framework.

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 Prof. Kristin Schirmer.
