PhD position in Precision Psychiatry and Depression Research in Bern, Switzerland. The Universitäre Psychiatrische Dienste Bern is offering a doctoral position within PRECISE-MDD, a CHF 1.99 million research project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The mult centre study investigates how EEG- and EKG-based biomarkers can support the selection of optimal treatments for patients with unipolar depression, including antidepressants, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS),...

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, invites applications for three PhD positions in evolutionary ecology, evolutionary genomics, and ecosystem science. The four-year Swiss National Science Foundation-funded project investigates how biotic and abiotic selection shape species interactions, community assembly, evolution, and ecosystem functioning in sub-Arctic lakes of Southern Greenland. The three projects focus on: (1) evolutionary ecology of copepods, including ...

ETH Zurich’s Geothermal Energy & Geofluids Group in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences invites applications for a full-time PhD position in magnetic resonance applications for porous media. The project develops and applies multimodal nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging (NMR/MRI), pulsed-EPR-MRI, and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) techniques to investigate chemical and physical processes in natural rock and fractured porous media. Research topics may include ...

The University of Basel in Switzerland is offering a fully funded, four-year PhD position in the Atmospheric Sciences group within the Department of Environmental Sciences. The project focuses on aerosol-phase synthesis and photocatalytic applications of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles for CO2 reduction. The successful doctoral researcher will generate nanoparticles with different compositions in the gas phase and characterize them using advanced techniques, including transmission electron m...

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...

Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland, is offering a PhD position in Real-Space Quantum Geometry within the Laboratory for Multiscale Materials Experiments. The project focuses on magnetic thin films and their nanoscale behavior. The successful candidate will grow and pattern magnetic thin films using nanolithography, perform micromagnetic simulations, and investigate patterned films through electron and X-ray imaging techniques and electronic transport measurements. Responsibil...

Doctoral Position in Groundwater Microbial and Viral Ecology and Environmental Bioinformatics at ETH Zürich The Geomitigation of Greenhouse Gases group at ETH Zürich is recruiting a highly motivated doctoral candidate to join a newly funded SNSF interdisciplinary project. The project examines how microbial and viral communities shape carbon cycling in groundwater systems, combining environmental microbiology, microbial ecology, viral ecology, environmental genomics, hydrogeochemistry, and bioinf...
