The University of Zurich is advertising more than 25 fully funded PhD positions across a broad range of research areas. The opportunities are based in Zurich, Switzerland, and are offered as paid positions rather than as a single scholarship programme. Fields represented in the listings include life sciences, medicine, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, astrophysics, and the social sciences and humanities. The breadth of the call may suit applicants seeking doctoral research in biomedical an...

An on-site postdoctoral position is available at EPFL in Lausanne within the group of Prof. Martin Hairer. The project sits in the broad area of stochastic analysis and focuses on research in and around stochastic partial differential equations and probabilistic aspects of quantum field theory. The successful candidate will collaborate on research projects shaped partly by their own background and interests, with room to pursue independent ideas alongside the group’s ongoing mathematical researc...

This postdoctoral project at EPFL sits at the intersection of geometric group theory , geometric analysis , and the study of Anosov representations . The AnSur project focuses on the global geometry of deformation spaces of Anosov representations, with particular emphasis on positive representations and their relation to geometric analysis. The research is motivated by the structure of hyperbolic groups and the way their boundary geometry is reflected in linear settings through Anosov representa...

Postdoc.Mobility is a recurring fellowship scheme from the Swiss National Science Foundation for researchers who have completed a doctorate and want to strengthen their academic profile through a research stay abroad. The fellowship is designed to support postdoctoral mobility and independence, giving researchers the opportunity to deepen their expertise in an international setting while building a stronger research trajectory for an academic career in Switzerland. The scheme is open to a range ...

The EPFL Laboratory of Particle Accelerator Physics (LPAP) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on accelerator design studies for the Future Circular Collider electron-positron option (FCC-ee). The project sits within a CHART-funded effort focused on building a robust optics configuration, a realistic beam-beam collision scheme, and a more stable lattice design for a next-generation collider. The successful researcher will contribute to developing and testing alternative FCC-ee optics...
