Zurich, Schweiz Eawag Vollzeit

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology). Eawag conducts research, education and expert consulting to achieve the dual goals of meeting direct human needs for water and maintaining the function and integrity of aquatic ecosystems.

Cluster hire of scientific and administrative staff to engage in evidence-based dialogue on wicked societal problems (project Engage)

Important societal challenges such as the energy transition, the biodiversity crisis, or sustainable agriculture are complex. Overcoming such wicked societal problems requires adequate forms of science-policy dialogue that enable the transparent use of the best scientific evidence. To support this dialogue, the project Engage will establish a platform for a trustful dialogue between the scientific community and the diverse stakeholders, develop innovative tools for this dialogue based on two case studies, and offer capacity building for people involved in the science-policy dialogue.

We are looking for several positions (three postdocs, one scientist, one project manager) for this highly ambitious project, which will be jointly developed and implemented by five institutions from the ETH domain (Eawag, Empa, EPFL, ETHZ, WSL) and Agroscope as an external research partner. The project duration is three years starting in early 2023. The environment is highly collaborative in that all positions have a dual affiliation: their respective home institutions (see the specific job descriptions) and regular work in the Engage co-working space at Eawag, Dübendorf (Zürich). This co-working space offers state-of-the-art office and working group meeting facilities, and will be the physical hub also for other initiatives in the context of sustainability, biodiversity and climate change topics (e.g. the Blue-Green Biodiversity Initiative). We will encourage collaborations and interactions across these activities, such that postdocs are embedded in a lively and well-networked environment. Engage has a highly inter
- and transdisciplinary focus, bringing together researchers from the social and natural sciences in a stimulating work environment.

Position 1
- **Postdoc in social sciences**, related to the case study of new plant breeding technologies.

Lead: Dr. Manuel Fischer (Eawag)

Position 2
- **Postdoc in molecular biology**, related to the case study of new plant breeding technologies.

Lead: Prof. Dr. Bruno Studer (ETH Zurich)

Position 3
- **Scientist or Postdoc for game development**, related to the case study of energy, climate and biodiversity.

Lead: Dr. Andreas Gerber (Empa)

Position 4
- **Project officer** for the management of the entire Engage project.

Lead: Dr. Christian Stamm (Eawag)
