→ The Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry (LAC) (www.lac.ethz.ch)
of the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences
(www.chab.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position. The research activities at the LAC encompass
synthesis, advanced characterization, metrology, and the application
of molecular and solid-state materials.
→ The newly appointed Assistant Professor should hold a Ph.D.
degree or equivalent qualification and is expected to establish an
internationally recognized research program in the field of physical
inorganic chemistry. Research methodologies may include, but are
not limited to, ultrafast optical spectroscopy, structural characterization using X-rays and electrons (or other particles) with high spatial
and temporal resolution, nuclear magnetic resonance, Mössbauer
spectroscopy, or theoretical materials science approaches. These
methods should be applied to the study of molecules and solid-state
materials relevant to photonics, (opto)electronics, energy conversion
and storage, catalysis, or quantum information science.
→ Candidates are expected to pursue highly interdisciplinary
research at the intersection of inorganic and analytical chemistry,
physics, or materials science. Projects that create strong synergies
with the large-scale facilities of the Paul Scherrer Institute – such
as synchrotron radiation, X-ray free-electron lasers, muons, or neutrons – or the Swiss-Norwegian Beamlines at ESRF, are particularly
encouraged.
→ At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching and
the ability to lead a research group are expected. The new assistant
professor will be engaged and contribute to teaching programmes
in inorganic chemistry at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
→ Assistant professorships have been established to promote the
careers of younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track
system equivalent to that of other top international universities.
ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer,
values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career
couples.
