100 %

Branche

Region

The ETH Sustainable Food Processing Group uses a combination of innovative sustainability assessment and emerging food system approaches to target fundamental challenges in food science and society such as food security.

The project aims to improve existing or develop new sustainability evaluation methods and apply them to global food systems databases and future projections to identify areas of improvement for different countries and regions. An interdisciplinary approach in strong collaboration with other ETH research groups is foreseen.

The position is fully funded.

Profile

We are looking for a candidate who is highly motivated to work in this project within a team that aims to assess the current status and future scenarios of global food system sustainability through nutrition, environmental, economic, and social dimensions.

The candidate should have excellent academic qualifications, writing skills, strong self-motivation, and the ability to work in a fast-paced interdisciplinary environment. Strong statistical, computer programming, and big data analysis skills are necessary qualifications for the position. Experience in quantitative sustainability assessment (e.g., life cycle assessment) and mathematical modelling of environmental systems will be considered a plus.

The successful candidate must have a Master and Dr./Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in Sustainability Sciences, Environmental Engineering, Data Sciences, Bioscience Engineering, or a closely-related area.

A three-page research proposal outlining the current issues, important literature, and possible approaches to tackle food sustainability challenges is required to consider the application.

We offer
  • Support for career development in academia, entrepreneurship, and industry
  • An interactive and diverse team culture
  • A flexible working environment with home office options

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.

Curious? So are we.

We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:

  • Diplomas/ transcripts (BSc, MSc, and PhD/Dr.)
  • Comprehensive CV with a complete publication list (maximum three pages)
  • Three-page research proposal outlining the current issues, important literature, and possible approaches to tackle food sustainability challenges is required to consider the application.
