Postdoc Opportunities in Education in Switzerland

An on-site postdoctoral position is available at EPFL in Lausanne within the group of Prof. Martin Hairer at the Probability and Partial Differential Equations (PROPDE) department. The research focus is in and around stochastic partial differential equations and probabilistic aspects of quantum field theory. The exact topic will be agreed with the successful candidate, taking into account their background and interests, and there is room to pursue independent research directions as well. The pos...

The Theory Group at EPFL is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to carry out independent work in theory of computation . The position spans a broad set of topics in theoretical computer science, including probabilistic proofs, succinct arguments, combinatorial optimization, approximation algorithms, online algorithms, sublinear algorithms, and (quantum) computational complexity. The research scope also includes proof complexity, communication complexity, quantum cryptography, algorithms, and quant...

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 Learn4Sepsi...

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...

The Jacobs Foundation Research Fellowship Program is a globally competitive fellowship for early career researchers working to improve the development, learning, and living conditions of children and youth. The fellowship supports research across a broad interdisciplinary scope, including education sciences, psychology, economics, sociology, family studies, media studies, political science, linguistics, neurosciences, and medical sciences . It is intended for researchers developing projects that...

The Artificial Intelligence in Molecular Medicine (AIMM) Lab at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for highly methodological work in frontier artificial intelligence. Led by Prof. Charlotte Bunne, the lab sits at the interface of computer science, artificial intelligence, and biomedical applications, with connections to the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, the School of Life Sciences, and the EPFL AI Center. The project focuses on advancing generative AI and foundation mo...
