For further information on the position, please contact PD Dr. Ben Spycher, preferably by email (ben.spycher@unibe.ch) (Tel. +41 31 684 33 46).
Please send your complete application in English (including a letter of motivation, CV, testimonials and publication list) as a single PDF-file to Ms. Natalie Studer (hr.ispm@unibe.ch) by March 31, 2025, with CC to PD Dr. Ben Spycher (see email address above).
