The University of Lausanne’s Center for Integrative Genomics is offering both PhD and postdoctoral positions in the laboratory of Professor Christian Fankhauser. The research focuses on plant photobiology and the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to environmental cues, particularly light and temperature. The Fankhauser lab investigates how plants adapt to suboptimal light conditions and elevated temperatures, with projects involving molecular genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, a...

The Laboratory of Proteostasis and Molecular Therapeutics (LPMT) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is offering a fully funded PhD fellowship focused on protein degradation. The research will be conducted in the Kozicka lab, which investigates how cells control protein fate and how these processes can be modulated for therapeutic benefit. The lab is particularly interested in the role of small molecules in modulating protein recognition and interactions, with the aim of resha...

The Zampieri Lab at the University of Basel is offering a PhD position in Systems Biology and Cancer Metabolism. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in understanding how metabolic programs drive cancer metastasis. The research project integrates in vivo mouse models, CRISPR-engineered cancer cell lines, pooled CRISPR screens, high-throughput metabolomics, and computational data analysis within a systems biology framework. The lab provides a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment ...

The ETH Zürich Laboratory of Epigenetics, Nutrition and Metabolism and the Sustainable Food Processing Group in the Department of Health Science and Technology are collaborating on a strategic research line focused on microalgae and plant-based foods in human nutrition and health. This doctoral student position centers on evaluating novel mineral sources for the treatment of micronutrient deficiencies in humans, with a particular emphasis on clinical trials to investigate mineral absorption and ...

This fully funded PhD position at ETH Zürich offers an exciting opportunity to investigate modern and ancient microbial drivers of biogeochemical cycling in tropical wetlands. The project is embedded within the Surface Earth Evolution (SEE) group in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the Sustainable Agroecosystems (SAE) group in the Department of Environmental Systems Science. Together, these groups integrate field-based sample collection and monitoring with advanced lab-based bi...

The Complex Materials group at ETH Zürich is offering a fully funded PhD position in Sustainable Polymers, starting in April 2026 or upon agreement. This interdisciplinary research project, in partnership with the Federal University of São Carlos (Brazil), aims to address the environmental impact of synthetic materials by developing sustainable, naturally derived alternatives. The focus is on polysaccharides, which are renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible, making them ideal candidates for...

ETH Zurich is offering two fully funded PhD positions as part of the SNSF-funded LacMai Project, a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Sustainable Agroecosystems (SAE) and Surface Earth Evolution (SEE) groups. The project investigates the climatic and anthropogenic controls on greenhouse gas emissions in the Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe region, the world's largest tropical wetland, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The research aims to reconstruct biogeochemical cycles and microbial communit...

The research group of Professor Pegah Kassraian at the University of Bern, Switzerland, is recruiting for several fully funded positions in rodent social neuroscience, including a postdoctoral scientist, PhD student(s), and a laboratory technician. The lab, opening in April 2026 and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Faculty of Medicine, is part of the Department of Neurology and the Experimental Neurology Center (ZEN) at the University of Bern. The group investigates...
