Professur oder Assistenzprofessur (Tenure Track) für Micro- and Nanoengineering for Health
The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (www.mavt.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the
above-mentioned position.
Micro- and nanoengineering are key drivers in healthcare development. Indeed, micro- and nanoengineered materials,
such as functionalized drug formulations and implants, and devices, such as for sensing and imaging, can play a crucial
role in enhancing the effectiveness and safety of patient treatment, making diagnoses and therapies more efficient and
reliable.
The focus of the professorship should strike a balance between fundamental research on micro- and nanoengineering and
technology development and their translation related to health applications (exemplified but not limited to functional
materials for health, physical, chemical and biochemical sensing, or related imaging, design and monitoring of
organ-on-chip technologies). The professorship should also address translational challenges related to engineering
scale-up, fabrication, processing, design, system integration, and reliability, leading to clinical studies. It will
have access to ETH Zurich technology platforms for material science, fabrication and device integration.
The new professor is expected to establish an ambitious, world-class research program in the field of micro- and
nanoengineering for health. We encourage applications from engineers from the entire spectrum from functional
materials, medical devices to imaging and biomedical engineering. Candidates should demonstrate a core area of
scientific expertise and solid theoretical foundation with a desire for translational and innovation. Experience in the
collaboration with clinical partners will be highly valued.
Successful candidates should hold a PhD degree or equivalent in engineering and have an outstanding international
record of research accomplishments on the above topics. They will actively participate in undergraduate (in German or
English) and graduate (in English) student teaching. This activity will primarily lie within the ETH’s B.Sc in
Mechanical Engineering and M.Sc. programmes «Mechanical and Process Engineering», «Micro and Nanosystems» and
«Biomedical Engineering». The ability to lead a research group is expected.
Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a
tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities.
ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of
dual-career couples.
