The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT, www.mavt.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position. 

Successful applicants must demonstrate an excellent international record of research accomplishments as robotics engineers and scientists. While scientific excellence and originality in one of the subfields of robotics is the priority – including mechanical design (at all scales), sensing, actuation, imaging, data processing, machine learning, and control – an emphasis on micro- and nanorobotics and/or medical robotics is encouraged.

We welcome applications from scientists and engineers from the entire spectrum of robotics. The new professor should contribute to the fundamental theoretical, technological and interdisciplinary development of robotics and strengthen the leading position of ETH Zurich and D-MAVT in this field. She or he should establish and extend exchange and interaction with academia and industry on a national and international level.

Successful candidates should hold a PhD degree or equivalent in engineering and have an outstanding record of accomplishments in robotics. Furthermore, a strong motivation and indisputable commitment to undergraduate (in German or English) and graduate (in English) student teaching and the ability to lead a research group are expected.

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.

Please apply online: www.facultyaffairs.ethz.ch

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications and projects, a statement of future research and teaching interests, a description of the leadership philosophy, three key publications, a description of the three most important achievements, and a certificate of the highest degree. The letter of application should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Joël Mesot. The closing date for applications is 15 November 2024.
