2024年4月18日

The research of the Human-​centered Sensing Laboratory centers around physics, chemistry and medicine to gain new fundamental understanding in micro/nanosystems for receptors and transducers to advance their fabrication and application in chemical sensing. The development of new technologies from conceptuation to device engineering with validated performance under real conditions tackling healthcare and environmental issues are a particular emphasis. Embedded at ETH Zürich and closely connected to the University Hospital Zürich, our lab features a unique bouquet of fundamental and applied research to respond to our society’s needs.

Project background

Modern electronic devices (e.g. smartphones) are indispensable tools for billions of people. They interact with us through voice recognition, and activity tracking, give us orientation, record videos and connect us by communication with the world. Surprisingly, chemical recognition is missing. Nanotechnology offers solutions to tackle these challenges by creating sensing materials with large specific surface areas and tailored surface chemistry to distinctly interact with molecules.

Job description

This full-time position offers students an exciting opportunity to perform cutting-edge research on nanostructured gas sensors to explore interfacial phenomena and new materials. You will join an inclusive, diverse, and supportive working environment that praises scientific curiosity and creativity. The starting date is as soon as possible.

Your profile

• You should have a recent Master’s degree (or be close to its completion) in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Process), Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics or closely related disciplines
• We are looking for someone who is highly motivated, creative, and excited to work in interdisciplinary teams. We welcome individuals with diverse backgrounds. Prior experience in fabrication of nanostructures and surface-sensitive characterization techniques are a plus.
