Are you interested in biosensors and wearable for developing innovative wearable technologies for sport and health applications? If yes, then please apply

Responsibilities
  • Keep up to date with relevant literature to recognize potential new avenues of research.
  • Explore and present these ideas to Prof Menon and the research group regularly (projects with the highest potential will be decided upon with the help of Prof. Menon).
  • Be independent in planning, executing, writing/communicating, and presenting your research (support will be available from Prof Menon and the research group as required).
  • Continue and expand the project(s) with support from Masters / PhD students.
  • Note that research with innovation potential will have the full backing of Prof Menon and ETH Zurich.
  • Assist in grant writing.
  • Assist in attracting BSc / MSc students to the lab and mentoring their projects.

We encourage growth as a scientist and academic; we aim to publish high-impact peer-reviewed publications and develop patents for potential commercialization. Overall, about 30% of your time will be devoted to supporting the lab in teaching and managing resources. As a postdoc at ETH Zurich, you would be a paid employee of the university.
