vor 4 Wochen


Zürich, Schweiz ETH Vollzeit

Job description

You are expected to conduct research toward a net-zero economy, with a focus on strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, or policy in the context of carbon technologies and carbon markets. Your work is scientifically rigorous and at the same time relevant to industry and policymakers. Your empirical work could focus on energy or heavy industry but could also be sector-overarching if it relates to relevant mitigation pathways such as carbon dioxide removal (CDR). An integral part of your work consists of advising PhD and master students. By supporting some of the group’s diverse teaching activities, you are directly contributing to SusTec’s innovative approach to sustainability and helping bridge research and learning. Further, you will have the opportunity to contribute to shaping the group’s strategy, involve yourself in funding proposals and gain experience in leading research projects and teams.

In general, postdoctoral researchers at ETH Zurich have a full-time employment. A part-time employment may only be considered in exceptional cases (e.g. child- or familycare, other projects or employment)

Your profile

Your previous activities reflect a strong interest in systemic climate challenges and the path to net zero You hold a PhD in management, transition studies, policy studies, or (ecological) economics, or a PhD in engineering or climate science paired with experience in a social science discipline Whether you recently finished your PhD or have some years of post-PhD research experience, you show a clear aspiration to pursue an academic career We welcome applications from both qualitative- and quantitative-oriented researchers Your excellent academic record underlines your potential to publish in top-ranked journals Your working style is team-oriented, and you have strong communication skills You are proficient in English; German is an additional asset but not required
