About this position

The University of Zurich invites applications for a 50% Postdoctoral Researcher position in family-focused, participatory sepsis research, starting in January 2027 or by agreement. The role is part of the PPIE/Family Work Package of Learn4Sepsis, a University Medicine Zurich research ecosystem for precision medicine and healthcare in sepsis.

The postdoctoral researcher will lead work on age-sensitive patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE), research co-design across the Learn4Sepsis ecosystem, and family-reported outcome and experience measures (FROM/FREM) in sepsis across the lifespan, from newborns to older adults. The work will involve researchers, healthcare professionals, patient and family research partners, doctoral students, the Swiss Sepsis Programme, and collaborators across the wider ecosystem.

Key research activities include developing the PPIE framework and governance, establishing diverse patient and public panels, designing and evaluating PPIE processes through qualitative and mixed methods, and addressing ethical and practical considerations when partnering with children and vulnerable groups. The researcher will also lead scientific work on family-focused measures in sepsis, including defining a core outcome set, reviewing existing instruments, and selecting, adapting, or co-developing measures for the Swiss Sepsis Cohort and long-term follow-up.

The position is jointly based in the Implementation Science in Nursing Research Group at the University of Zurich and University Hospital of Zurich, and the PINNACLE Research Group in the Department of Pediatric Intensive Care and Neonatology at the University Children’s Hospital Zurich. This interdisciplinary academic-clinical environment offers opportunities to develop expertise in participatory research, patient and public engagement, family-focused outcomes, sepsis research, and innovation in instrument development.
