vor 1 Monat
The Architecture & Technology (A&T) Doctoral Programme is looking for exceptional candidates to join our group of 50+ international doctoral students. We are offering two paid, full-time (100%), 3.5-year doctoral fellowships to start on October 1, 2025.
The programme provides funding for three and a half years, excellent working conditions, and a unique research infrastructure. You will be employed full-time and receive monthly salaries based on a standard rate.
The A&T Doctoral Programme is ETH Zurich’s interdisciplinary educational platform committed to training scholars in research and teaching of technology in architecture. The programme is managed collaboratively by the chairs of the Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA). The work of the ITA chairs includes computational design of buildings and structures, building processes and systems, digital and robotic construction and fabrication, among others.
You will join one of the professorships under the respective professor/mentor. We expect you to choose one professorship that is most suitable for realizing your research proposal and explicitly indicate this in your application package. The interdisciplinary character of the programme ensures the involvement of other parties during the studies.
We are looking for excellent candidates whose work demonstrates productive synergies between architecture and technology. We welcome architects with a solid technical, engineering or scientific background or interests and engineers/scientists whose work relates to architecture. Applicants are advised to consult the ITA professorships’ websites before applying to ensure their research interests are compatible.

Upon successful admission, the ETH administration office will evaluate if you need to take any additional exams at ETH during your first year of studies.
