The group has developed a unique ...

The Grassland Sciences Group at ETH Zürich is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the INETFLUX project, focusing on innovative technologies to partition carbon dioxide and evapotranspiration fluxes in forests. This international collaboration involves ETH Zürich, WSL (Switzerland), and CzechGlobe (Czech Republic), and aims to advance understanding of how forests respond to climate variability and extreme events through their carbon and water fluxes. The research will develop and validate n...

Roche is seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist in Ocular Immunology to join its research and development team in Basel, Switzerland. This position focuses on advancing the understanding of barrier immunity at the ocular surface, particularly in the context of Dry Eye Disease. The research program leverages advanced human conjunctival models to dissect immune–epithelial crosstalk, aiming for strong translational impact. The successful candidate will work closely with Marco Künzli, Senior Scientist & R...

The Grassland Sciences group at ETH Zurich, part of the Department of Environmental Systems Science, invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on partitioning forest CO2 and water vapour fluxes. This research is embedded in the INETFLUX project, a collaboration between ETH Zurich, WSL (Dr. Roman Zweifel), and CzechGlobe, aiming to develop innovative technologies to disentangle carbon dioxide and evapotranspiration fluxes in forests. The project seeks to advance process- and system...

The Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences (DCBP) at the University of Bern is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher in Bioinformatics to join the Buller Laboratory. This interdisciplinary research program focuses on enzyme discovery and engineering for biocatalysis, integrating genome mining, molecular dynamics, machine learning, structural biology, and experimental enzyme engineering. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and analys...
