This postdoctoral project investigates how the metabolic tumor microenvironment of pediatric neuroblastoma is organized, reprogrammed and potentially exploited for treatment. The position is part of the NCCR Children and Cancer consortium and connects the Laboratory of Exercise and Health at ETH Zurich, headed by Prof. Katrien De Bock, with the Morscher Lab at University Children's Hospital Zurich, led by Dr. Raphael Morscher. The researcher will establish and characterize genetic and/or orthoto...

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 Adolphe Merkle Institute’s BioNanomaterials group at the University of Fribourg is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for an interdisciplinary project focused on lung tissue engineering and the hazard assessment of exhaust emissions . The research aims to develop a toxicity screening approach to identify highly toxic pollutants from different emission sources and to support the ranking of fuel and engine technologies according to their hazard potential. This project is part of the Horizon ...

The Laboratory of Elisa Oricchio at the Swiss Institute of Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC), EPFL , is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join research on how cancer-associated genomic alterations shape tumor initiation, progression, and therapy response. The project centers on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor evolution by integrating genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. The lab studies how functional consequences of cancer-associated genomic alterations ...

The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the HydraSense project within its Remote Sensing group and Land Change Science Research Unit. The project addresses how climate-induced drought affects forest ecosystems and how remote sensing can identify changes in tree water status and thresholds associated with drought-induced mortality. The postdoctoral researcher will develop and evaluate methods for retrieving vegetation water ...

Eawag – the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology – is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a two-year interdisciplinary study on the environmental analysis and fate of synthetic oligonucleotide therapeutics in aquatic environments. Synthetic oligonucleotides are an expanding class of nucleic-acid-based therapeutics. Chemical modifications that protect these compounds from enzymatic degradation in the human body may also influence their persistence, transformation, and bi...

The Singapore-ETH Centre is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to lead research on technology-enabled home rehabilitation after stroke within the Future Health Technologies Programme. The project addresses the need for scalable rehabilitation that extends beyond therapist-led clinical care and supports stroke survivors in their homes. The research focuses on the RELab tenoexo , a soft robotic hand exoskeleton designed to enhance upper-limb rehabilitation in clinical therapy and provide additio...
