Assistenzprofessur (Tenure Track) für Sustainable Materials Technology*
The Department of Materials (www.mat.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position.
The successful candidate is expected to be part of a strong collaborative network between all engineering departments
and research groups working in materials science and engineering of ETH Zurich and other institutions of the ETH
Domain. She/he will have an outstanding research record in materials science and engineering with a strong focus on the
design, synthesis, processing, and applications of sustainable materials for a circular economy. Candidates working in
industry are also encouraged to apply.
Sustainable materials may be engineered by enhancing fundamental properties through the combination of constituents
from one materials class or by integrating diverse materials classes (polymers, metals, functional ceramics, biological
materials) across different length scales, from the atomic or molecular level to the macroscopic architecture.
Sustainability principles can be implemented in materials by using renewable resources, optimizing the efficiency of
material utilization, minimizing energy-intensive processes, and/or enabling recyclability or biodegradability. Fields
of particular interest include adaptive materials and structures, integrated electrochemical systems for energy
conversion and storage, sustainable high-performance materials, living materials, and sustainable hybrid materials to
develop novel electronic and optical devices. A focus on technological aspects of material development and a desire to
embrace translational research toward addressing societal challenges in, but not limited to, environmental protection,
efficient use of resources, and energy will be a strong asset.
The candidate must be an effective and enthusiastic teacher who will develop and teach courses in the Materials
Science curriculum at the BSc and MSc levels. Generally, at ETH Zurich undergraduate-level courses are taught in German
or English and graduate-level courses are taught in English.
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.
Please apply online
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of future research and teaching
interests, a description of the leadership philosophy, a description of the three most important achievements*, and a
certificate of the highest degree. The letter of application should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof.
Dr. Joël Mesot. The closing date for applications is 15 May 2025 .
*Die Berufungskommission hat ihre Tätigkeit bereits aufgenommen, Bewerbungen können grundsätzlich nachgereicht werden.
**Die ETH Zürich legt Wert auf eine qualitative Bewertung akademischer Leistungen. In diesem Sinne sind Sie gebeten,
eine kurze Beschreibung Ihrer drei wichtigsten Errungenschaften den Unterlagen beizufügen (maximal je eine halbe
Seite). Dies können neben Forschungsergebnissen auch besondere Leistungen in der Lehre und deren Weiterentwicklung,
Dienstleistungen zugunsten der akademischen Gemeinschaft oder der Gesellschaft, Softwareentwicklungen, Patente,
Wissens- und Praxistransfer, Spin-offs und dergleichen sein.
Bitte beachten Sie: Für Assistenzprofessuren wird eine Berufung in einem frühen Karrierestadium angestrebt. Bei der
vergleichenden Bewertung der Leistungen der Bewerber:innen wird das jeweilige akademische Nettoalter als Zeitraum seit
der Promotionsprüfung berücksichtigt, der für wissenschaftliche Arbeit aufgewendet wurde. Dieser Zeitraum sollte zum
Zeitpunkt der Bewerbung acht Jahre nicht überschreiten.
Bitte beachten Sie: Alle Unterlagen sind in Englisch einzureichen.
