1. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Designing and Optimizing Materials for Bacterial-Based Sustainable Biopesticide Delivery Systems<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture is crucial for the food supply. However, this practice leads to significant environmental and health issues, including poisoning, environmental degradation, and the development of insecticide resistance. EU policies and the UN Sustainable Development Goals advocate for safer, more sustainable alternatives like biopesticides. However, large-scale implementation of these alternatives faces challenges related to formulation and efficacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biology & Biophysics<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Wieczorek Lab at the Institute of Molecular Biology & Biophysics at ETH Zurich investigates the physical principles underlying the self-assembly of complex intracellular structures from biomolecules. The group uses the microtubule cytoskeleton as a model system. We apply state-of-the-art methods in structural biology, in vitro biochemical reconstitutions, and single molecule biophysics to understand how diverse multi-microtubule assemblies form from a common tubulin \u201cbuilding block\u201d. The results of our work are important for understanding the molecular basis of diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration, which are often directly linked to defects in microtubule network assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in nonlinear laser spectroscopy on novel types of ferroic order and domains<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The PhD project unites our internationally leading expertise in nonlinear laser spectroscopy and ferroic materials. Its aim is to explore novel manifestations of ferroic order (like advanced multiferroicity, altermagnetism, hidden states) with the use of class-IV laser systems. The properties of the domains these novel ferroics exhibit is of particular interest as this aspect is little studied and offers plenty of room for exciting physics and groundbreaking discoveries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare heart disease caused by fatty or fibrotic infiltration of the heart muscle. Since intensive physical activity is associated with increased acute risks and a worse prognosis, patients are advised to avoid sporting activities. The aim of the current National Fund project, in collaboration with ARVC specialists from the Cardiology Department of the University Hospital of Zurich, is to better understand which physical activities ARVC patients can perform with minimal risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in developing physics-based loss models of advanced magnetic devices for future highly efficient drive and converter systems<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

We are looking for outstanding, highly motivated individuals interested in pursuing a PhD in the multidisciplinary and important research area of modelling and optimisation of magnetic components and electric machines. Highly efficient as well as compact transformers and chokes are critical elements in most power electronic systems, because these components drastically influence the overall efficiency and power density of converters. Similarly, in electric drive systems the overall efficiency and power density are significantly affected by the iron and winding losses in the machine. In order to pace with the rapid development of semiconductors (e.g. wide bandgap SiC MOSFETs\/GaN HEMTs), advanced concepts for magnetic devices and in particular comprehensive models of the core losses should be developed by you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In this PhD project, you will develop new records of atmospheric CO2 and of changes in the surface ocean temperature. CO2 records will be produced from carbon isotopic fractionation in alkenone biomarkers. New temperature records will be developed from the clumped isotopic composition of coccoliths, calcite plates produced by a family of phytoplankton. Within the project, the PhD student will conduct several short mobility research stays with our project partners at Purdue University in the USA, in order to develop and refine proxy system models and compare the new data with results from climate models, and become familiar with climate modeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
