PhD Position in Sustainable Food Processing for Planetary and Human Health at ETH Zurich ETH Zurich in Switzerland

The University of Fribourg in Switzerland is offering a full-time, ERC-funded PhD position in the Department of Chemistry within Pascal Bertsch’s group and the ERC Starting Grant project GI-CORONA. The doctoral researcher will formulate lipid-based colloids, including emulsions, liposomes and lipid nanoparticles, and investigate how these systems digest in the gut and which proteins form their gastrointestinal “biocorona.” The project aims to use this knowledge to design improved oral drug-deliv...

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, offers a six-month master’s thesis in microbial ecology at its Kastanienbaum site near Lucerne, Switzerland. The project investigates bacterial and archaeal diversity in Swiss lakes as part of the Swiss National Assessment of Lake Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (SNALBES). The successful student will use approximately 100 lake samples to study microbial community diversity and composition through 16S rRNA gene amplicon seq...
