Project Manager Sustainability and Ethics in Education
vor 4 Wochen
We are seeking a highly motivated Project Manager for Sustainability and Ethics in Education to support the systematic integration of sustainability and ethics into teaching and learning as of June 2025. The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, implementing, and managing work packages that help students develop the competencies needed to address global challenges such as climate change, resource distribution, and ethical decision-making.
Project backgroundThis position is part of a strategic effort to establish sustainability and ethics as fundamental elements of ETH Zurich's education, enabling graduates to become "Change Agents for a Better Tomorrow." Sustainability focuses on the responsible use of resources to meet current needs without compromising future generations, while ethics ensures fairness and justice in decision-making. Since sustainability issues are deeply intertwined with ethical considerations—such as intra- and intergenerational justice—ETH Zurich emphasizes both themes as a unified educational priority.
The Project Manager will join the Strategy and Analytics Group in the Unit of Teaching and Learning (UTL) at ETH Zurich, a team committed to anticipating future needs, enhancing education through strategic initiatives, and using data-driven insights to improve teaching outcomes. The Project Manager will work closely with faculty, students, and external partners to develop innovative teaching approaches, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and facilitate knowledge transfer across degree programmes.
The position is limited until the project's end (September 2026).
Project Management & Implementation:- Lead the integration of sustainability and ethics into academic programs using a structured, multi-stage approach.
- Conduct needs assessments and evaluate work-packages progress to align with institutional sustainability goals.
- Collect best practices and teaching resources for sustainability education and support knowledge-sharing with the ETH community.
- Collaborate with faculty and faculty support staff in embedding sustainability and ethics into existing curricula by providing resources and guidance.
- Support the development and coordination of new teaching formats, including courses, modules, and project-based learning experiences.
- Support the development of assessment tools to evaluate students' competencies in sustainability and ethics.
- Work with faculty, curriculum development and teaching specialists, and student organizations to align initiatives with institutional goals on sustainability and ethics.
Required
- Doctoral degree in Environmental Science, Social Sciences, or Education focusing on sustainability and ethics or a related field or a Master's degree in these or related fields, with proven experience in higher education or teaching.
- Proven experience in project management, preferably in an academic or educational setting.
- Strong understanding of sustainability and ethics principles, with the ability to translate them into educational programs.
- Experience in curriculum development, faculty engagement, and educational innovation in higher education contexts.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate across disciplines and departments.
- Strong analytical and organizational skills.
- English and German proficiency.
Preferred
- Familiarity with higher education structures, teaching methodologies, and curriculum development.
- Background in interdisciplinary collaboration and sustainability education.
- A unique opportunity to contribute to a high-impact, strategic project in ETH's education.
- Access to development opportunities to familiarize yourself with ETH Zurich's culture, working and teaching environment.
- A collaborative and supportive team located in central Zurich. Flexible working arrangements are also possible.
- Access to a vibrant network of colleagues from ETH academic and administrative departments.
- Many other benefits provided by ETH Zurich as an employer.
