Professor or Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics at ETH Zurich ETH Zurich in Switzerland

ETH Zurich’s Department of Physics (D-PHYS) is inviting applications for a Professor or Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. This is a faculty position focused on experimental condensed matter physics, with emphasis on the fundamental properties of condensed matter systems arising from electronic correlations or nontrivial topology.

The successful candidate is expected to develop original approaches that combine spectroscopy and transport measurements to investigate novel condensed matter phenomena. Research experience in platforms such as quantum materials, topological materials, or two-dimensional materials is considered an asset. The appointee will build and lead a competitive research group in ETH Zurich’s interdisciplinary environment and collaborate with theoretical and experimental researchers across the university.

Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate courses in condensed matter physics and quantum mechanics, with teaching in German or English at the undergraduate level and English at the graduate level. ETH Zurich highlights equal opportunity, diversity, and support for dual-career couples.

Applicants must have an outstanding research record in experimental condensed matter physics, a strong understanding of emerging electronic and quantum properties, and a clear commitment to teaching. For the assistant professor track, the university seeks candidates at an early career stage; the academic net age since the doctoral examination spent for scientific work should not exceed eight years at the time of application.

Application materials include a CV, publication list, three statements on research, teaching, and leadership, short descriptions of the three most important achievements, and a certificate of the highest degree. The closing date is 28 May 2026.
