The Biopharmacy group at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Basel, is offering a full-time postdoctoral position focused on the mechanisms underlying drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). The group’s research centers on the role of drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes, investigating how genetic variants and other factors contribute to interindividual differences in drug response and safety. Using a translational approach, the team integ...

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 ETH Zürich Laboratory of Epigenetics, Nutrition and Metabolism and the Sustainable Food Processing Group in the Department of Health Science and Technology are collaborating on a strategic research line focused on microalgae and plant-based foods in human nutrition and health. This doctoral student position centers on evaluating novel mineral sources for the treatment of micronutrient deficiencies in humans, with a particular emphasis on clinical trials to investigate mineral absorption and ...

This fully funded PhD position at ETH Zürich offers an exciting opportunity to investigate modern and ancient microbial drivers of biogeochemical cycling in tropical wetlands. The project is embedded within the Surface Earth Evolution (SEE) group in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the Sustainable Agroecosystems (SAE) group in the Department of Environmental Systems Science. Together, these groups integrate field-based sample collection and monitoring with advanced lab-based bi...

The Complex Materials group at ETH Zürich is offering a fully funded PhD position in Sustainable Polymers, starting in April 2026 or upon agreement. This interdisciplinary research project, in partnership with the Federal University of São Carlos (Brazil), aims to address the environmental impact of synthetic materials by developing sustainable, naturally derived alternatives. The focus is on polysaccharides, which are renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible, making them ideal candidates for...

ETH Zurich is offering two fully funded PhD positions as part of the SNSF-funded LacMai Project, a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Sustainable Agroecosystems (SAE) and Surface Earth Evolution (SEE) groups. The project investigates the climatic and anthropogenic controls on greenhouse gas emissions in the Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe region, the world's largest tropical wetland, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The research aims to reconstruct biogeochemical cycles and microbial communit...
