Professur oder Assistenzprofessur (Tenure Track) für Building Physics*
The Department of Architecture invites applications for the above-mentioned position. The professorship is based at
the Institute of Technology in Architecture ITA (www.ita.arch.ethz.ch).
The new professor is expected to develop a state-of-the-art research agenda, identifying and extending new research
frontiers in building physics that address the transformation of the building stock towards low carbon and high quality
of life. Thematically, these frontiers are in areas such as multiscale building physics, urban microclimate, physics of
sustainable building materials, building and urban acoustics.
Successful candidates will have excellent and proven expertise in building physics. Ideally, their academic track
record is complemented by practical experience in implementing novel concepts in architecture and construction
practice. This is demonstrated by a strong publication record, experience in innovative teaching, and interdisciplinary
collaboration in practice or living lab settings. Required qualifications include a Ph.D., the ability to lead a team
and excellent teaching skills. A contribution to the development of the Department of Architecture beyond the
boundaries of the discipline is expected.
The new professor will actively contribute to the further development and expansion of the curriculum towards
sustainable construction, building life cycle and circular building systems. In the case of an assistant professorship,
this includes teaching at the bachelor level in architecture, offering a basic course in building physics.
Collaboration with architectural design studios at the bachelor level to address building physics issues in design is
encouraged. In the case of an associate/full professorship, teaching also includes offering courses for the Master of
Architecture (MSc Arch) and Master in Integrated Building Systems (MSc IBS), and continuing education on advanced
topics in building physics, such as urban microclimate, acoustics, or material characterisation. Courses at ETH Zurich
are generally taught in German or English.
The new professor will supervise doctoral students and collaborate with professorships in the Department of
Architecture and across ETH departments. Of particular importance is the collaboration with the professorships of the
Institute of Technology in Architecture ITA, other ETH departments, as well as a strong interest in synergies through
collaboration with the globally unique infrastructure for experimental research, including the Robotic Fabrication
Laboratory (RFL), the Immersive Design Lab (IDL), and the Zero Carbon Building Systems Lab.
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. The level of the appointment will
depend on the successful candidate's qualifications.
ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of
dual-career couples.

*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;
sofern mit Bildmaterial maximal je zwei Seiten). Dies können neben Forschungsergebnissen und Bauten 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. (Praktische Erfahrung wird bei der Festlegung des akademischen
Nettoalters berücksichtigt.)
Bitte beachten Sie: Alle Unterlagen sind in Englisch einzureichen.
